He likes to keep his cards close to the chest, and doesn\u2019t reveal them until he has to on game day.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1464\">Pennsauken\u2019s Yaxel Lendeborg selected by Golden State Warriors in first round of NBA draft<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>But all of his players, not just outsiders, know the four players sitting on a yellow card suspension threat heading into Thursday\u2019s group stage finale against Turkey (10 p.m., Fox29, Telemundo 62): Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun, Chris Richards, and Antonee Robinson. And they know the risk of playing Christian Pulisic as he finishes recovering from a calf injury.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>That opens the door for backups who haven\u2019t featured much yet to get a shot. Two of them have talked with the media so far this week, left wingback Max Arfsten and attacking midfielder Alejandro Zendejas. They both said they\u2019re ready to jump in if called on.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cTraining hard, been waiting for the opportunity, but I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll come,\u201d Zendejas said. \u201cThat\u2019s obviously a coach\u2019s decision, and something I\u2019ve got to respect, but I\u2019ve always said it all depends how I\u2019m on the field. I\u2019m working hard, having fun, really enjoying this dream that I\u2019m living right now, so I couldn\u2019t ask for more.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Arfsten said before Tuesday\u2019s practice that as of then, the players \u201chaven\u2019t heard anything about\u201d who will start Thursday. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cThat\u2019s obviously the coach\u2019s decision and whatever he decides, obviously we\u2019re going to be on the same page with that,\u201d he added.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>As Arfsten continued at the mic, he left no doubt that all 26 players are well-trained at handling pesky inquiries from the media.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cIt\u2019s a tough question \u2014 good thing I\u2019m not a coach,\u201d he said at one point. \u201cBut honestly, I think the most important thing is, no matter who\u2019s playing, to go out and try and get three points. Just because I think the momentum of the two wins is what\u2019s keeping the energy high right now, and three would be even more.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1462\">First-round pick Labaron Philon brings ball-handling, shooting ability, and playmaking to the Sixers<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>He at least signaled that the tone of training sessions hasn\u2019t changed with first place in the group sealed.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cObviously everyone\u2019s happy that we\u2019ve already advanced, but at the same time, regardless of if we\u2019ve advanced or not, training is still very competitive, it\u2019s very intense,\u201d Arfsten said. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s the culture that the coach has created: no matter what, that everyone\u2019s still trying to prove something.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>One starter likely to keep his place is goalkeeper Matt Freese. The Wayne native showed in the first two games why he earned Pochettino\u2019s trust as the No. 1 in net.<\/p><div><\/div><p>He is also perhaps the team\u2019s most steadfast player when it comes to a one-day-at-a-time mentality. So when the Wayne native was asked about potential lineup rotations in front of him, he barely flinched.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cIt\u2019s a coach\u2019s decision, obviously, and we\u2019ve got 26 guys here who all want to play, and who all are ready to play, and are working hard every day in training,\u201d Freese said. \u201cAnd we as a group have full confidence in all 26 of us. So really, we\u2019re focused on continuing to prepare and work hard in training, and be ready for whatever.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" class=\"wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/faba80d67140212ba32240655442c529.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n        Watch the latest episode!\n      <\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In this World Cup, underdogs are stealing the spotlight, the U.S. men are on a roll, and Philadelphia has not only welcomed the world but has given visitors a crash course on just how real the curse of the Rocky Statue can be.<\/p>\n<p>Join Jonathan Tannenwald, the Inquirer&#8217;s soccer writer, and host Lisa Carlin, analyst for CBS Sports Golazo, as they dissect the matches, the moments, and more as Philly has its moment in soccer&#8217;s brightest spotlight.
