Turner sets sights on first USMNT cap Sunday night vs. T&T (7 p.m. ET, FS1)

As excitement builds for Sunday night's friendly between the U.S. Men's National Team and Trinidad & Tobago, so does the anticipation that New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner could make his first-ever international appearance.

With the opportunity to potentially secure his first cap wearing the U.S. crest, Turner has captured national media attention leading up to kickoff on Sunday (7 p.m. ET, FS1). It's a feel-good story of an undrafted player out of college, who when given the chance, has shown everyone what he is truly capable of – and he'll hopefully do so on the international stage this weekend.

🗣 “The reason I got into soccer was because of the World Cup run in 2010…11 years later to have the chance to wear the crest on a matchday is nothing short of a dream come true.”
