- USMNT return to World Cup for first time since 2014
- Tyler Adams appointed captain after player vote
United States coach Gregg Berhalter named Tyler Adams as the team’s captain for the World Cup on Sunday afternoon, one day before the Americans face off with Wales in their opening match of the tournament.
The 23-year-old Leeds United midfielder, the last of the 32 skippers announced for this year’s competition, will become the youngest player to wear the captain’s armband for a US team at the World Cup since Walter Bahr in 1950.
