Leeds United star Tyler Adams has reflected on his time as captain of the United States Men's National Team at this year's World Cup as he serves his suspension for the Whites.
The 23-year-old was sent off in the dying minutes in the 4-3 loss against Tottenham Hotspur before the winter break began back in mid-November and misses tonight's return of Leeds' Premier League campaign.
Speaking to NBC Sports Soccer ahead of Leeds' match against Manchester City, the suspended Adams noted that the entire winter break was so fast, but also so important to the USMNT squad.

"It's a whirlwind to say the least. Even when I try and look back at it now, I couldn't believe how quickly it went by. Getting off the plane in Qatar, I was so excited to be able to see my family and then you realise in five days time you have to play a game.
"Going into the World Cup, it was our job to go in there and try and change the way the world views American soccer, the standard wasn't too high but hopefully after this World Cup and those good performances, people will start to change the way they think about us."
