Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams has issued a defiant statement after he was knocked out of the World Cup with USA on Saturday. Gregg Berhalter's side were beaten 3-1 by Netherlands in the last-16 which marked the end of their journey in the competition.
Despite elimination, it has been a promising few weeks for the States having held England to a 0-0 draw and going unbeaten during the group stages. Many believe that this current crop of players is a 'golden generation' for the country as they look to continue the growth of football back home.
The likes of Adams, Brenden Aaronson, Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Sergino Dest, Gio Reyna and Yunus Musah among others are currently playing at the very top across Europe. USA are among the three host nations at the next World Cup in 2026 and so they will be hoping they can continue to progress ahead of a big tournament in front of their own supporters.

But at this stage it is time for reflection for Adams and co, with the Leeds star writing on his social media that the last few weeks have been an 'honour' and is confident they will be 'back'.
He said: "What a ride. So honoured to be a part of such an amazing team, these boys are something special. Came up short, but the work continues to show the world what we are made of. Thank you everyone for the support in the past weeks it’s meant everything to us. We’ll be back. Better, stronger and together."
