Thursday's World Cup Group D finale between the United States and Turkey is what's called a dead rubber game. The Americans have already clinched top spot in the group, and the Turks – losers of their first two games – have already been eliminated. Vibes are high for Team USA after impressive wins over Paraguay (4-1) and Australia (2-0). Securing top spot in the group already allows Mauricio Pochettino the opportunity to rotate his lineup and protect players on a yellow card to avoid suspension for the looming knockout stage. When does Team USA play next? Team USA's next game will be 10 p.m., Thursday, June 25 against Turkey. The game will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Turkey has been among this tournament's most disappointing teams. Despite registering 62 shots in its first two games (2-0 loss to Australia and 1-0 loss to 10-men Paraguay), Turkey has yet to score a goal this World Cup. Which USMNT players are on yellow cards, face possible suspension? At the World Cup, if a player receives two yellow cards during the group stage, he is suspended for the following game, even if it's in the knockout stage. Yellow cards, however, do reset after the group stage. The U.S. have a number of important players on yellows, who may be rested against Turkey considering the risks and Group D already in hand. Here are the U.S. players with yellow cards: • Midfielder Tyler Adams picked up a yellow card in the 59th minute vs. Paraguay. • Defender Antonee Robinson picked up a yellow card in the 56th minute vs. Australia. • Striker Folarin Balogun picked up a yellow card in the 89th minute vs. Australia. • Defender Chris Richards picked up a yellow card in the 90th +3 minute vs. Australia. The USMNT has already won Group D.
