Crucial error against Belgium
Freese had three saves and allowed four goals in Monday's 4-1 loss against Belgium.
Analysis: Freese's performance plummeted after a promising start to the game, with his team conceding four goals, one of which was entirely his fault as he lost possession of the ball outside his box. It was an odd mistake for a keeper who had otherwise been reliable between the posts, allowing just one goal over his previous three starts. However, he ended up with eight saves and five goals against across four matches played during his first World Cup.
Clean sheet against Bosnia
Freese recorded three saves and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Freese would have a decent match in net Wednesday despite little to deal with in the contest, as the goalie recorded three saves and a clean sheet. This is his second clean sheet of the World Cup thus far, also earning one against Austria. He will likely be tested more as they face Belgium in the round of 16, needing to be at his best once again.
