U.S. Men’s Team Sets Record, Loses Late

The U.S. men’s team bowed out of the World Cup group stage with a dramatic 3-2 loss to Turkey, but not before setting a new tournament scoring record — a testament to their resilience and tactical flexibility. Though already guaranteed a knockout spot, the Americans prioritized player rotation and injury prevention, fielding a largely unfamiliar lineup that still delivered grit and moments of brilliance. Turkey, fighting for pride after an early exit, clinched a late stoppage-time win — their only victory of the tournament — in a gutsy, underdog performance. Coach Pochettino lamented the focus on the loss rather than the group win, while U.S. players like Brenden Aaronson and Sebastian Berhalter remained upbeat, praising their team’s energy and readiness for what’s next.
