"Pochettino said Turner's World Cup experience would be valuable as a starter or as a backup, but all indications are the starting nod will go to Freese, who has been between the sticks for most of the Pochettino era."
"I'm a bit concerned that Schulte has failed to save every one of the 15 penalties he's faced as a pro, but Freese is the shootout specialist anyway."
"Brady has very quietly put together a very good season thus far for the Chicago Fire. I also think it's worth mentioning that Schulte only made this last window when Celentano withdrew as an injury precaution."
"Even writing this blurb, I am mostly struck by just how shallow the talent pool is at keeper. I need a hug."
The US men's national team's World Cup roster will be announced on May 26, following two recent friendlies resulting in losses. Mauricio Pochettino must finalize his selections, with Matt Freese expected to be the starting goalkeeper. The debate centers around the third goalkeeper position, with options including Patrick Schulte and Chris Brady. Concerns about Schulte's penalty-saving record and the overall depth of talent in the goalkeeper position are noted. Joe Scally's position on the roster is also uncertain as the team prepares for the World Cup.
