Whether it affects what\u2019s been an immaculate vibe in training ahead of next week\u2019s Round of 32 showdown with Bosnia and Herzegovina \u2014 officially confirmed as the opponent about an hour before kickoff at SoFi Stadium \u2014 remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think at certain times we could\u2019ve controlled the game a little better,\u201d midfielder Sebastian Berhalter said. \u201cGot the ball better in their half. Positioning too, first half felt like we were a little all over the place, maybe had too many guys behind the ball and not enough in front of the ball but again, this was a group that was ready and itching to play and again, I\u2019m proud of everyone. Everyone should be proud of themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are two big positives to come from the night. First, Christian Pulisic playing the final 32 minutes after coming on for Tim Weah was exactly what needed to happen before the knockout stages. Second, the team\u2019s heart and fight after Berhalter woke them up with a 49th-minute smash from 20 yards that tied the game 2-2 is nothing but commendable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pulisic\u2019s impact, in a moment where the U.S. was already gaining momentum, was immediate. He was dynamic on the ball, creative and willing to take on defenders, functioning as a reminder of how unique his ability is to this team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In choosing to keep only Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi from the starting 11 against Australia in Seattle, though, Pochettino will have been willing to take the risk of a loss in the name of a clean bill of health, whether he wants to admit it or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He went for three points late, though, bringing on starters Sergi\u00f1o Dest and Alex Freeman along with Alex Zendejas in a bid for the winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>World Cup

chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Auston Trusty\u2019s injury \u2014 which appeared to be to his ankle \u2014 with mere minutes to go put a damper on the night, and left the U.S. to finish out stoppage time with 10 men, having used all of their substitutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Doing that without ceding a winner proved an impossible ask. Trusty did come back for the final minute, but could only limp around as Turkey finally broke through, Kaan Ayhan scoring in the ninth minute of stoppage time and on the game\u2019s final kick to secure a 3-2 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The four-man back line of Trusty, Miles Robinson, Mark McKenzie and Joe Scally looked totally out of its depth. McKenzie was caught flat-footed on Arda G\u00fcler\u2019s 10th-minute strike; Scally never saw Orkun K\u00f6k\u00e7\u00fc running in behind him 21 minutes later to hand the Yanks their first deficit of the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trusty, at least, put a goal on the board after 134 seconds, smashing the ball in after Berhalter pinged a corner to the far post right onto Trusty\u2019s foot. With that goal three minutes in \u2014 following the seven and 11 minutes it took to score against Paraguay and Australia \u2014 it looked like the party would keep rolling. It didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Berhalter struggled defensively, getting booked early, but made up for it with the ball at his feet. Four minutes into the second half, he corked one from outside the box to tie the game 2-2.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tim Weah, starting at left wing, struggled with his first touch and made a negative impact for much of the night. Gio Reyna dribbled into trouble; Brenden Aaronson and Pepi were hardly noticeable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Turkey, motivated to bring at least some kind of result home after enduring white-hot criticism, offered a glimpse of what might have been.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Americans, meanwhile, are still waiting to break a losing streak against European competition that has stretched nearly five years, all the way back to Dec. 18, 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The team they beat that day, not too far from here in Carson, Calif.?
