Brad Friedel, a former Premier League goalkeeper thinks that Christian Pulisic and Matt Turner aren’t getting their due. Currently, these star players are responsible for USA’s second rank in Group B. However, Friedel thinks they are being undermined by their football clubs back home. While Pulisic plays for Chelsea, Turner is a part of Arsenal club. He also adds that Weston Mckennie is on his wishlist for the Premier League with these two.

Pulisic joined Chelsea just a while back and has played three matches for the club. However, Friedel believes that his position in the team doesn’t let his talent shine through to the fullest. He says Pulisic can establish himself as the best American player of all time from the likes of Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey.

Similarly, Turner can take up a strong position, rather than being Aaron Ramsdale’s deputy. Friedel says he was quite impressed by Turner’s performance in his first world cup match against England on Tuesday. He wasn’t nervous at all and performed like a true star.
