‘Give everything to represent my country’: Revs’ GK Matt Turner discusses chance to start for USMNT
"For me, it’s always about competing and the joy I have competing at that level and my teammates look at me with that relief in their face that I just bailed them out."
The New England Revolution have turned their season around after losing the first two matches in 2026. Since then, the Revs are 8-1-2 in Major League Soccer and are sitting third in the Eastern Conference as of Thursday. A big part of their bounce back season, is their starting goalkeeper, Matt Turner.
“Having someone with Matt’s quality and Matt’s experience on our team is just so beneficial. I think game after game Matt proves how much he means to us,” Revolution Head Coach Marko Mitrovic said. “Hopefully Matt’s going to be there and hopefully Matt will have opportunity to play and to continue his great form that he currently has with us.
” Turner is one of the best keepers in Major League Soccer and has made several big saves in clutch moments to seal wins for the club. Mitrovic shared that Turner has a big voice in the locker room and has been important in helping create a winning culture under the new coaching staff. “I think every club in MLS would like to have Matt Turner for the long term.
Not until just the end of the season but on the long term as well. We’ll see,” Mitrovic said. The Revs held a final media availability on Thursday before the international break.
