Meet Tyler Adams

"For every Tyler Adams in US sports there is a Harry Kane type figure struggling to tie his shoe laces up."

People on about things in America and what they have to do for sport, reading this I thought about this film I've seen at least twice!..

I think its a great film that if you've not seen, you should root for it, mind, I might have watched it because of Sandra!.

It said at the time a true story, and watching it it seems if you don't make the grade at school/collage than you don't get anywhere!..

Always amazes me how well spoken US sports people are. I watch a lot of College American Football and even at that level at the age of 18-21 they speak really really well and with confidence.

You then see some of our British chaps and it is painful to watch half the time. No idea why that is.

For every Tyler Adams there's a hundred Hershel walkers. You're not watching close enough.

Love the lad. Having a very good World Cup.
Future Leeds #4 and Captain. Possibly by next season.

His réponse is calm, measured, intelligent.

What a star we have playing for our club. Well done to Jesse Marsch (and Victor Orta) for bringing him over from Germany. I think 24 mill will turn out to be supremely good business, not to mention the leadership he is bringing. Once Liam Cooper bows out, I can think of no better replacement, if we can hang on to him, of course.

Won't watch any the games but can't help following the results. Let's hope the US get knocked out sooner rather than later so Adams and Aaronson can get back intact.

Was thinking the same jaz. Want the Leeds lads to do well but lose and come home healthy.

Agree, Jazz, Tyler is so important for us. If he is injured for any length of time, I could see us sliding back into the relegation zone very quickly.

In other news, a rumor doing the rounds is Marsch is interested in the u.s. job for 2026.
Doesn't look likely though, he just said it would be fun.

Strange, the Guardian article seems to be under the delusion that he signed on a permanent deal in the summer.
