President of the United States of America Joe Biden has sent a message to Tyler Adams and his international teammates ahead of their World Cup last-16 tie this afternoon. USA are set to face Group A winners Netherlands at the Khalifa International Stadium as they look to seal a place in the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2002.
Gregg Berhalter's side sealed their passage to this stage with a 1-0 win over Iran on Tuesday, keeping their unbeaten record intact. They were also the only side in the tournament not to concede a goal from open play during the group stages, with Leeds United's Adams a big part of that.
Adams has covered the most distance and won the most tackles in the competition so far, replicating his early success for Leeds at club level on the international stage. The 23-year-old received the message from Biden via the official President of the United States' Twitter account.
