For the second time in the last year, the U.S. men's national team has lost three matches in a row, falling 2–1 to Türkiye.
After suffering shocking defeats to Panama and Canada in back-to-back 2025 Concacaf Nations League matches, the USMNT returned to action in its first of two international friendlies ahead of this summer's Gold Cup . Even without so many of the Stars and Stripes' best players, including Christian Pulisic , the USMNT got off to a dream start against Türkiye.
Just 59 seconds into the fixture, Jack McGlynn curled home a sensational strike from distance to put the hosts up 1–0. The goal is just the second of the 21-year-old's international career and came at a perfect time for a U.S. side that had previously found the back of the net just once in the last 180 m
