Most of the USA men’s national team’s starting 11 was set in stone heading into its June 12 World Cup debut match against Paraguay at SoFi Stadium.
The biggest question was which Matt would be in goal when the game began.

But Turner being relegated to the bench hasn’t stopped his wife, Ash, from showing the American side support.

Ash Turner was once a cheerleader for the NFL’s Patriots. She and Matt were married in 2022 and have two children, a son named Easton and a daughter named Everly.
