Yeah I wouldn't read too much into this tourney, re who starts ahead of who in goal. This squad was picked with one eye definitely on the Olympics.
If Payne, Surman, Bindon, Cacace are to be the back 4 in France (yes it maybe a back 3/5) then makes sense to have the Olympics keeper Paulsen behind them, for minimum 2-3 games in Vanuatu.
Who starts in goal for the AWs against Mexico in Pasadena on 6th Sept, that will be very interesting. That's if Crocombe is available. He may not be if Burton Albion have some games over that Sept window. But by then we will also have some idea of what Bournemouth have planned for Alex P in season 2024/25. It could be Cherries U21s or something not that exciting to start with, as he settles in.
