Four American players added their name to the U.S. men’s national team history books on Saturday after making their senior debuts for the program. Goalkeeper Matt Freese, defenders Alex Freeman and Nathan Harriel, and attacker Quinn Sullivan all featured in the USMNT’s 2-1 home loss to Turkey on Saturday, becoming the latest group to debut in the Mauricio Pochettino-era. Freese and Freeman both played the full 90 minutes while Sullivan and Harriel featured off of the bench at Rentschler Field. Freeman, 20, has starred for Orlando City this MLS season, quickly becoming a first-team regular after three-consecutive seasons in MLS NEXT Pro. The son of former NFL wide receiver Antonio, Freeman rarely put a foot wrong in his debut at right back, winning six duels and completing over 80% of his passes. While being positive after his debut, Freeman also praised the confidence in the current squad with many new faces playing together for the first time. “It feels great, I feel like I had been dreaming of this moment and to finally be able to do it on our home turf is amazing,” Freeman said postgame in a U.S. Soccer interview. “It was something that I was really looking forward to. Good to get a good 90 in for the debut and I think I can build off of it for my country.“I feel like for the performance I thought we did well, the first 20 minutes we did well but then the next 10 or so they got a goal and it kinda shifted momentum,” he added. “After the 10-minute period where they scored two goals, I thought we did well. We had a lot of new people and I thought we did well and it was something that we all can look up to even though we didn’t get the win.”Sullivan and Harriel both played the final 25+ minutes in the match, coming off the bench with the USMNT down 2-1. The Philadelphia Union duo showed positive moments in their cameos, trying to make a difference in the final scoreline. Sullivan was proud of the USMNT’s ability to fight until the final whistle, but admitted improvement is needed to grind out winning results. “It’s definitely a dream come true to represent the country on the senior team level is awesome,” Sullivan said. “Disappointed in the result obviously, I thought we created enough chances to put the ball in the back of the net. Individually it was a proud moment, I thought I brought some intensity and aggressiveness that coach talks about so I’m going to bring that every time.“We have positives to take from it,” he added. “We can’t be complacent though with just some good work and some good stuff in the match. Overall, Mauricio said we should be happy with how we played and with this group being together for the first time.”Freese, 26, made three saves in the match to help keep the USMNT alive in the match despite them trailing before halftime. A former Union homegrown player, Freese has been a starter for NYCFC over the past two seasons, which has led to his recent inclusion into the USMNT squad under Pochettino. Despite being one of the older players in the current squad, Freese thanked Pochettino for trusting him to make his debut and credited the overall work rate in the entire squad. “It was amazing, it was a great honor and big thanks to Mauricio and the rest of the staff for giving me the opportunity,” Freese said. “I am someone that cares more about winning soccer games than anything else so it would’ve been nice to get the win but overall I thought there were some positives for the whole group to build upon heading into the next friendly and into the Gold Cup. “I thought we were one team pushing together, from the opening whistle to the subs lined up cheering us on, to the way we celebrated our goal, to the way we let in the goals,” he added. “I think it showed pretty good camaraderie and teamwork is really where it all starts, being one nation and one team. I thought everyone was quite comfortable on the ball and played with a lot of confidence today.”All four players will now aim to be part of the plans for the USMNT’s Tuesday night showdown with Switzerland in Nashville, Tennessee.
