USMNT goalkeeper Matt Freese has stated he is blocking out external criticism as the team prepares for their World Cup opener. In a press conference on June 11, 2026, Freese emphasized his focus on training and team goals rather than public opinion.
Freese, who has been a key figure in the squad, acknowledged the pressure but said he uses it as motivation. 'I don't pay attention to what people say outside the camp. My job is to be ready for my teammates and the coach,' he said.
The USMNT is set to begin their World Cup campaign in the coming days. Freese's mindset reflects a broader team strategy to maintain unity and concentration amid high expectations.
