USA midfielder Winston McKennie offered perspective on the 3-2 defeat to Turkey, acknowledging Turkey's finishing: "Turkey were very clinical and finished their chances. The momentum will still be there for us, for sure."
McKennie stated the setback would serve as motivation: "Everyone wants to go into the next game having won the previous game, but I think it's going to motivate us even more."
The midfielder stressed USA's squad depth and readiness: "All 26 players we have on this roster can step up and do the job. We believe in everyone on this roster, and that everyone will step up and contribute to the team."
McKennie also highlighted Pulisic's significance: "He's a special player." USA will face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the knockout round on 2 July.
