Danny Higginbotham has singled out United States captain Tyler Adams as one of the 'standout performers' at the 2022 World Cup so far.
The Leeds United midfielder has played a leading role in guiding the United States to the knockout stages of the tournament. USA are yet to taste defeat, after drawing against Wales and England respectively, and securing their place in the Round of 16 with a 1-0 win over Iran.
Adams, who is the youngest captain at the World Cup finals, produced a disciplined display in the goalless draw against England, and impressed once again in the decisive win over Iran. The 23-year-old has received a number of plaudits for his performances in Qatar, and Higginbotham has been especially excited by the midfielder.
