About this episode
Auston Trusty discusses his World Cup debut and the USMNT's upcoming match against Türkiye.
The U.S. Soccer Podcast presented by Henkel is back as the USMNT prepares to close out the group stage against Türkiye. Meghan Klingenberg and David Gass break down the matchup, what makes Türkiye a dangerous opponent and how the U.S. can balance rest, momentum and squad rotation with the knockout rounds ahead. Then, USMNT defender Auston Trusty joins the show following his World Cup debut. He reflects on the atmosphere in Seattle, the belief inside the group, his title-winning season with Celtic, the intensity of the Old Firm rivalry and the moments that inspired his own soccer journey. Plus, Meghan visits the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Beach Soccer National Teams in Venice Beach, and Zoo Atlanta’s psychic animal predictions return for USA vs. Türkiye. The U.S. has already secured its place in the knockout rounds, but there is still plenty to play for against Türkiye. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
