USMNT face Turkey in final group game at World Cup

The United States men's national team will play their final group stage match of the World Cup against Turkey on Thursday, June 25 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Kick-off is set for 7:00 pm local time (3:00 am BST on Friday).

Mauricio Pochettino's side have already secured top spot in Group D and a place in the knockout rounds, thanks to a 4-1 win over Paraguay and a 2-0 victory against Australia. Turkey, meanwhile, have been eliminated after two defeats and will be playing for pride.

Weather conditions are expected to be sunny with no risk of the kind of delays that affected the France vs Iraq match earlier in the tournament. The match will be broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX in the UK, and on talkSPORT 2 radio.

• USA have won both group games with an aggregate score of 6-1.

• Folarin Balogun scored in the opener; the US attack has been led by him and Christian Pulisic.

The US squad includes key players such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Folarin Balogun, while Turkey boast Inter Milan's Hakan Calhanoglu and Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. Co-hosts USA will be aiming to complete a perfect group stage before the knockout phase begins.
