WHAT HAPPENED? Having been announced as the opposition for the MLS All-Star game in July, USMNT and Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner took to teaching the Gunners a little about MLS including central defender Walker Zimmerman.

WHAT THEY SAID: "This week we're going to talk about Walker Zimmerman, a player I know very, very well," Turner begins while showing an image of Zimmerman to his Gunners teammates.
"He looks like Thor," responds Martinelli.
"Really? I don't think I see it," Turner says jokingly.
"Yeah look at his hair," says Martinelli.
"You might have seen me on the pitch with him at the World Cup," says Turner, trying to move forward in the conversation.
"This guy is always talking about the World Cup," says Eddie Nketiah, rolling his eyes at the U.S. obsession with their World Cup performance.
