The USMNT played its penultimate World Cup tune-up on Sunday, beating the No. 14-ranked team in the world, Senegal, 3-2. While many things went great in this match for the squad, it did illustrate that the goalkeeper situation is still unsettled, less than two weeks ahead of the World Cup. Veteran Matt Turner started in goal and youngster Chris Brady finished in net, while presumed starter Matt Freese didn’t get in the game, which perplexed national team legend Tim Howard.

“Congratulations, Chris Brady. Amazing first cap,” Howard started, congratulating the young third-string keeper before jumping into the situation. “I’ve been a goalkeeper for a long time at a very high level, and I know the ins and outs. I’m baffled a little bit by what’s happened there. So, Matt Turner gets the start. Well done. Then Chris Brady comes in, gets his first cap. Well done. Trying to figure out where Matt Freese is in all of this.”
