Jamie Carragher has praised “the energy” of Tyler Adams after the United States frustrated England in the World Cup. Despite heading into the clash as heavy favourites, the Three Lions looked laborious and were held to a 0-0 draw in Qatar.
A win would have seen Gareth Southgate’s side qualify for the last 16 but, against the odds, a resilient USA side held firm. Leeds United midfielder Adams was one of the standout performers by thwarting England in midfield.
Named captain ahead of the tournament, Whites fans were the least surprised to see their player frustrate the Three Lions. Adams has transitioned to life at Elland Road seemingly since his summer switch, filling the void left by Kalvin Phillips’ move to Manchester City.
