The United States will play their first game of the World Cup against Wales on Monday. Nine times Adams has captained the U.S. You can watch the LaLiga, Bundesliga, and more on the U.S. based on your location. Adams was named the captain of the team. A very young team, but a lot of credit to my teammates because anyone in our leadership council can wear that arm band and represent us in the right way. Since World Cup qualification began, the responsibility has changed between multiple players on the team's leadership council, with Christian, Walker, and Weston all holding the role. The schedule of the World Cup in 2022.

The last three and a half years, we've been working with a leadership council and we ask them what they want to do for the World Cup. They wanted a captain for the World Cup.
Tyler is the captain of the team. He is a great leader because of his actions and words.
President Joe Biden wished the team luck in a call ahead of the tournament.
"I know you're not the favorite, but you have some of the best players in the world on your team and you're representing this country and I know you're going to give it your all." "Let's shock them all," Biden said.
Keep trusting in one another, play as hard as you can for yourself and your teammates, and the whole country is rooting for you.
Adams will be the U.S.'s youngest captain at a World Cup since Harry Keough in 1950 and Berhalter's side will be the second- youngest at the tournament.
Berhalter said that Tyler has matured beyond his years and you can see it from the moment you start talking to him. I can talk about the strengths of Tyler, but he's a guy that the teammates know exactly what they're going to get from him, and that's the other thing about him.
He is going to go out on the field and compete. He is going to be thinking about the game. He's going to be interested in the game. He's not just a competitor, he's also a strategist and that helps the group because he calms people down.
After playing for the US at the U17 World Cup, he was called up to the national team for the first time against Portugal.
Berhalter wasn't ready to proclaim Weston and Sergino fit for 90 minutes.
They've made great progress. They can participate in the game. Do you know how long? We have to look at it.
That's one of the things about having five subs. They can either come into the game or start them and take them out of the game when we feel that they're close to that threshold, but both of them are in a good position to help this team tomorrow.
It's not clear who would replace Dest at right-back if he were to be limited, while it's also not clear who would play in the middle of the field.
The U.S.-Wales match will be handled by a group of officials.
The Americans won against Panama at the Gold Cup in Al Jassim's third match. Adams, Josh Sargent and Luca de la Torre were all involved in the U-20 World Cup match between the US and New Zealand.
