Former USMNT goalkeeper Tim Howard has urged fans not to overreact to the team’s defeat to Türkiye in the final game of the group stage, promising an emphatic response in the round of 32 against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side made light work of its first two fixtures, dismantling Paraguay 4–1 and seeing off Australia 2–0, but the group stage ended on a sour note with a 3–2 defeat to a Türkiye side that had already been eliminated after losing to the same two opponents the USMNT had beaten.
