U.S. Men's National Team Training Base (IRVINE, Calif.) Under cloudless sky at the beginning of Tuesdays practice session,Matt Freese and Matt Turner shuffled their feet and drove to their left and right as they took shots under the watchful eyes of the USA goalkeeper coaches, Toni Jimenez and Jack Robinson. Just three days from now, one of "The Two Matts" will have the eyes of the planet on them as the World Cup co-hosts begin what they hope will be a long and inspiring run to the business end of the biggest event in global history with the first group stage game, on Friday in Los Angeles against Paraguay. They still dont know which one. While the expectation is that World Cup newcomer Freese will be between the posts for the Stars and Stripes to start the competition, Turner said what his teammate-turned-rival did a day earlier: that coach Mauricio Pochettino has not yet told them wholl be his No. 1 keeper. Turner manned the nets with distinction four years ago in Qatar, keeping a clean sheet against star-studded England, one of the favorites to win it all, to help his country advance to the knockout stage. Despite that experience, the former English Premier League backstop could occupy more of a support role this time around. Not that hes necessarily looking at it that way. "Being ready for if my number is called and just training every day, preparing for every game like I'm playing, regardless of what the coach ultimately decides here," Turner said when I asked him how hell handle being the understudy if thats his role this time around. "I think the coach will always pick the guy that's playing the best, and you know he's going to make the right decision for the team," he added. "And whatever my role is going to be, I'm going to be ready to do it to the best of my ability." Its not much different for Freese. "You work for the opportunity, but you never know if it's going to come," said the Harvard graduate. "As a competitor, you always want to be on the field, always want to help the team in whatever capacity, and this doesn't change in this moment. Whatever I'm called upon to do, I'm ready to do." The keeper battle between them has been raging for a year, ever since Pochettino named Freese, who had just one international game under his belt at the time, as his starter for the Concacaf Gold Cup. The 27-year-old led a severely shorthanded U.S. side that was missing lineup mainstays Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Folarin Balogun, Sergio Dest, Antonee "Jedi" Robinson and others all the way to the final against Mexico, winning a shootout over Costa Rica (and legendary former Real Madrid No. 1 Keylor Navas) along the way. Freese has started almost every game since, with Turner mostly rooted to the bench. If being demoted was hard for the veteran, 31, to take, he hasnt shown it publicly. By all accounts, he and Freese have a healthy professional relationship. "Both those guys have done a tremendous job," midfielder Cristian Roldan said on Tuesday. "Matt Turner has maybe taken a step back [from the starting job] but hes been so incredibly supportive of Matt Freese and the team and putting us first, and so credit to both of them. They're competing at the end of day, but they want what's best for the team." The competition has extended beyond the national team. Turner left Europe last summer to re-join the New England Revolution a move designed to ensure that he was playing regularly and staying sharp in the lead-up to this World Cup on home soil. Freese also competes in MLS's Eastern Conference, for New York City FC. "Playing consistent minutes [with the Revs] this year has helped me tremendously with staying ready, unlike in the past, where I was kind of scrapping for minutes at the club level," Turner said. Even if Freese is in goal on Friday, Turner knows things can change at any moment. After all, injuries and red cards and game-changing errors happen. "Just because one [set of 11 players] starts one game doesn't mean the next 11 is going to be the same," Turner said. The position isnt as strong as it once was for the national team, when Premier League mainstays like Tim Howard and Brad Guzan were vying for the gloves, or Brad Friedel and Kasey Keller before them. At one point in the mid-2000s, four starting keepers in the Premier League were American Howard, Friedel, Keller and Marcus Hahnemann. Ahead of this World Cup, the goalkeeper position has been called one of the teams potential weaknesses. Chris Brady, who earned his first senior appearance in the second half of last months tune-up against Senegal, is the obvious third-choice keeper. On Monday, Freese said hes unfazed by whatever questions exist. "Im not really listening to anyone outside of the two guys [Turner and Brady] with me and the coaching staff," he said. "It's fair to say the US has a great goalkeeping corps historically. I was a fan of that goalkeeping corps for much of my life, and still am. It's an honor to be on this team and be part of that group to hopefully continue that great legacy." "I think whatever the coach ultimately decides, we owe it to each other to respect that decision," Turner said, "and support each other all the way through the World Cup."

CLEVELAND 100 mph.In the grand scheme of Gerrit Coles outing on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians, a singular fastball cannot come close to capturing how he performed or telling the story of the game in which it was thrown. But as the New York Yankees ace continues to settle into his 2026 campaign and distance himself from the elbow surgery that sidelined him for all of 2025, even the most minute of data points can carry significance.In this case, it was the first time since Sept. 28, 2022, that Cole had thrown a fastball that registered 100 mph. He crested 99 on several occasions in the years since, including touching 99.6 mph in a Triple-A rehab start leading up to his return to the Yankees rotation last month. But not in nearly four years had Cole thrown a fastball that clocked in at triple digits.On Tuesday, 100 mph marked the right-handers best bolt during an outing in which his velocity was up across the board on all five of his pitches, even as his effectiveness wavered. He hit it only once on his 34th pitch of the night, a four-seam fastball that Guardians catcher Austin Hedges fouled off in a 1-2 count but his heater hummed in at 97-99 mph all night, and his secondary offerings had an extra bit of giddy-up as well. His slider climbed as high as 92.4, his changeup all the way to 88.6.Times have changed. That Cole was able to access this kind of heat in only his fourth major-league start coming back from Tommy John surgery, and with his 36th birthday approaching in September is undeniably impressive. Yet that velocity doesnt seize the attention like it did early in Coles career, when he was a flamethrower with few peers.As a rookie in 2013, he threw 22 pitches at 100 mph, more than any other starting pitcher in MLB, with only eight other starters (and 27 total pitchers) achieving the feat in the regular season. In touching triple-digits on Tuesday, Cole became the 19th starting pitcher to reach that velocity threshold this season and the 62nd overall. He is an outlier no more.And so, Coles brief achievement in velocity on Tuesday served as a positive footnote amid an otherwise scattershot performance. By most measures, his efforts registered as unremarkable, if not downright underwhelming. Although his stuff was sizzling, Cole mustered only a modest contribution to New Yorks eventual 3-2 victory."I thought Gerrit was OK, manager Aaron Boone said postgame. I thought it was kind of a grind for him. I thought his stuff was good, his fastball was up probably not exactly shapes he wanted, necessarily. But I thought overall, his stuff was good. They obviously made him work hard.Cole completed just four frames marking his shortest outing since June 25, 2024, another time he was working his way back from elbow trouble including a laborious, 29-pitch third inning in which he coughed up the two-run lead afforded to him by rookie Spencer Jones first career homer in the top of the second inning.The velocity was up, Cole noted postgame. I think that was a product of the night being so warm and just sweating, like right from the get-go.And having to just kind of persevere, he added of what mightve contributed to his uptick in velocity. I mean, my heart rate had to be, like, 185 or something like that I haven't probably touched that in quite some time.Play 2026 Soccer Pick 'Em with FOX One and make your picks for the world's biggest soccer tournamentAfter going down in order in the first inning, the Guardians put increasing pressure on Cole in each frame, creating traffic on the basepaths and crafting lengthy at-bats thatexasperated the Yankees ace as he navigated the chaos on a humid, 86-degree night at Progressive Field.I feel like, at a certain point, I was just so gassed, he said. It's just like survival mode just give it your best effort.Cole worked around a pair of baserunners to complete a scoreless fourth, but his pitch count had climbed to 83. So that was the end of the line, an uncommon stopping point for a pitcher accustomed to venturing much deeper into ballgames, albeit an understandable one, considering how the game was unfolding and that Cole is still building his workload back up to a normal level."The good part is somehow we're able to escape with two [runs] and keep us in the game and squeeze another inning out of it before we ran out of pitches, he said.Indeed, for the second consecutive night, the Yankees ground out a narrow victory over the Guardians, this time 3-2 in regulation (a relatively straightforward affair compared to Mondays 7-5 win that required eight pitchers and the entire bench and lasted 3 hours and 41 minutes across 10 innings). Jones titanic, two-run blast it traveled 443 feet to center field plus a solo, go-ahead moon shot from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the eighth turned out to be enough run support as Cole and five relievers including the five final outs from splitter specialist Fernando Cruz in his first save of the season secured the series for New York.On Wednesday, the Guardians will try to avoid being swept for the first time this season, with a southpaw showdown on deck between Yankees veteran Carlos Rodn and Guardians rookie Parker Messick.As the Yankees embark on a prolonged stretch without captain Aaron Judge, full-roster triumphs along the lines of Mondays and Tuesdays results are encouraging demonstrations of New Yorks depth and determination on both sides of the ball. And on a night when the Yankees face-of-the-franchise pitcher demonstrated flashes of his exceptional arsenal and endured some speedbumps as he continues to find his footing post-surgery, Cole can appreciate the quality of the roster that surrounds him."Tonight was all-hands-on-deck, a persevere type of night, he said. And luckily we put one more up than them.
