Matt Turner retrieved the ball from the back of the net twice in his first game for the U.S. national team since last June. “My overarching theme for earning that opportunity again is just to continue to be myself, to go out there,” Turner said after the Americans lost to Belgium 5-2 in a friendly on Saturday. Turner, 31, was the U.S. starter at the 2022 World Cup but his 53rd international appearance was his first for the national team since a 4-0 loss to Switzerland on June 10.
