Tyler Adams says USMNT not concerned with 'outside noise' from former players
Tyler Adams says the U.S. soccer team has tuned out criticism from former players. Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey, who share the American goals record with 57 each, are among those who have been critical of current regulars not in the struggling roster preparing for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. "We don't talk about that internally as a group," Adams said Wednesday during a Zoom interview with The Associated Press. "The noise on the outside is the noise on the outside. I think we need to focus on what we need to do as a group and continue to build." [RELATED: Landon Donovan, Christian Pulisic, and the drama over USMNT stars not playing] Star Christian Pulisic is skipping the June camp and Gold Cup to rest after playing about 120 games for club and country over two seasons. "Whether it was Gold Cup, whether it was Copa (America), whether it was Confederations Cup, whether it was the World Cup, I wasn't going to miss competitions," Dempsey said last week on the "Men in Blazers" podcast. "For me, I don't understand it because that wasn't my mentality. I always wanted to play in those games." Watching Portugal celebrate its win over Spain in Sunday's European Nations League final, Donovan said on the Fox postgame show: "I can't help but think about our guys on vacation not wanting to play in Gold Cup." Pulisic has not spoken publicly of his decision. The U.S. has lost four straight games, its longest skid since 2007, following a 4-0 rout Tuesday night by Switzerland. "This is part of the process," Adams said. "You're going to win games. You're going to lose games. It's about continuing to build that. I think we're on the right path. We have to continue to build and try the things that we've been training. It'll take a little bit of time, but it will come together." Adams didn't dress for the Switzerland friendly but is confident he will be ready for the Gold Cup, where the Americans open Sunday against Trinidad and Tobago. "A little turf toe-type injury. More of an overuse thing probably than anything — overload. It was something that I picked up when I came into camp," Adams said. "Progressing well right now, but just trying to be smart and manage it." Adams, who captained the U.S. at the 2022 World Cup, funded a pair of mini-pitches at Pulaski Park in Poughkeepsie, New York, near his home in Wappinger. He spoke on the Zoom about his work with Allstate, the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Black Star Soccer to construct fields about the size of basketball courts at the Fisher Magnet Upper Academy in Detroit and The Bell Avenue School in Yeadon, Pennsylvania. "Before the World Cup hopefully we plan to do one more with a city unnamed yet," Adams said. "It's something that I think has real impact, continues to grow the sport, serves underserved communities." [RELATED: Projecting the USMNT's World Cup squad: Luna over Reyna? Turner starts at GK?] Now 26, Adams is feeling back to his old self. He had back surgery last July with Dr. Robert Watkins and returned to the field with England's Bournemouth on Oct. 26. Adams played in 28 Premier League matches this season after being limited to three in 2023-24 because of leg injuries. "It's definitely enjoyable when you're healthy," he said. "The 16-to-18 months that it was just on and off inconsistency is something I never had in my career and never had to battle. And then when it hits you and you go through that, you just learn different ways to navigate things, enjoy life, just not take things for granted, all the little things." Since Mauricio Pochettino took over as U.S. coach last fall, players have had more autonomy to break away from rigid positioning employed by his predecessor, Gregg Berhalter. "From a positional standpoint, obviously we had probably a little bit of a different structure under Gregg," Adams said. "Maurizio gives the players freedom to find spots they're comfortable in and see how they can affect the game in different ways. I think our attacking players definitely have freedom to try and find the ball and create things in the right areas of the field. So, yeah, I think he gives everyone freedom, but there's still structure to the way that we want to play." Adams will be with the U.S. team in Austin, Texas, next Wednesday, and following intently when the Premier League releases its 2025-26 schedule at 3 a.m. CDT. He feels improved because of his time with Leeds in 2022-23 and Bournemouth the past two seasons. "After you play in the Premier League, every game feels slow,'" he said. "No matter what game I play in now the game feels slow. You look at your schedule when the season comes out and you have to play in a row Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, Liverpool, Manchester United, all these big games back to back to back you just learn how to make decisions quicker and if you don't, you get punished."

FOX Sports University: Bridging Academia and Sports Media
I went to college back in the 1900s — the previous century. Like many young students, I didn't fully appreciate or take advantage of the college experience at the time. But when FOX recently contacted me with the opportunity to head back to college and participate in the FOX U program, I jumped at the chance to see what this generation of students in the broadcast field were up to. Meeting with the Syracuse students at the prestigious Newhouse School of Communication, it was clear that they meant business. This generation has grown up in a world where everything is being "broadcast", with all the production, distribution, and competition of traditional broadcast media. But some of the challenges and opportunities in the business remain the same. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup a year away and FOX looking to maximize our broadcast, the challenge presented to the students was pretty simple: How does FOX go about attracting as many young/new viewers as possible to the 2026 FIFA World Cup? It was an open canvas for them to showcase their ideas and skills. The groups set about conceiving, creating, and presenting their projects. We were able to see and follow the progression, including the inevitable ups and downs of any project. There are dynamics in a project involving communication, personalities, work distribution, and, of course, the pressure of a deadline. All these things are found in the real world and require proper navigation to succeed. The final presentations were unique and thoughtful. They often forced me to think about the business I've been in for years in a different way. Any good learning environment needs the proper balance of positive and negative feedback. We wanted to encourage the students without giving them a false sense of security. If there were problems or concerns with the projects, we honestly pointed them out and looked for solutions. If there were good ideas we praised them and looked to improve upon them. But the students did all the hard work. Each project was unique and looked at the challenge in a different way. The students and their projects were impressive, in substance and style. It's a skill and art, getting up in front of decision-makers and clearly and convincingly selling your idea. The FOX U program, like real life, has an element of competition. At the end of the semester, there is a winner, like real life. But there are no real losers. After all, college is where you learn from your mistakes and successes. The real world will come soon enough for these students, but judging by my FOX U experience with them ... they're gonna do just fine. What is FOX Sports University? In 2008, FOX Sports created an innovative partnership program with colleges and universities across the country named FOX Sports University. Since its inception, the initiative has forged partnerships with more than 40 elite academic and athletic institutions nationwide. This unique program has empowered thousands of students with hands-on industry experience while simultaneously generating fresh, creative concepts and a pipeline of talent for FOX Sports. FOX Sports University projects reflect current business priorities and are created specifically for the partner class curriculums and learning goals. Graduate and undergraduate participants tackle semester-long projects, developing actionable solutions that have potential for real-world implementation across FOX Sports platforms. What sets this program apart is the direct involvement of FOX Sports executives and on-air talent throughout the educational journey. Students gain invaluable insights while producing research, campaigns, and strategic concepts that receive real-time feedback along the way. The program's success as a talent pipeline is evident with hundreds of FOX Sports University alumni transitioning to internships and full-time roles within the company since its inception. Alexi Lalas is a soccer analyst for FOX Sports and host of "Alexi Lalas' State of the Union Podcast." He represented the USMNT at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and had a nine-year professional career. In 2006, he became the president of the LA Galaxy and helped bring David Beckham to Major League Soccer. recommended Get more from United States Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more in this topic
