MEXICO CITY (AP) — Zack Steffen was picked over Ethan Horvath to be in goal at Estadio Azteca when the United States opened the final qualifying window against Mexico. They were backups with English clubs for much of the season. Both were coming off big saves in Sunday’s FA Cup quarterfinals with Horvath for Nottingham Forest and Steffen for Manchester City. New England’s Matt Turner started eight of the first 11 qualifiers and Steffen the other three, but the Arsenal-bound Turner is sidelined by an ankle injury. Horvath has supplanted Brice Samba as Forest’s starter, while Steffen is a backup to City’s Ederson.
