Tyler Adams calls USMNT rift between current, former players ‘strangest thing'
Tyler Adams became the latest U.S. Men's National Team player to comment on the growing rift between current and former players. The USMNT captain addressed the topic during an interview with The Athletic that was published this week, calling the disconnect 'the strangest thing.' Former players who have become pundits have been critical of the current national team amid struggles by the program in recent years.

Getty Images Things took an uglier turn recently after star Christian Pulisic decided to skip the Gold Cup this summer, drawing the ire of USMNT alumni, including Landon Donovan. 'I can't even explain it,' Adams said about the rift between the current and former players. 'I'm not a social media guy, so I don't follow anything, but when people bring up some of the things that are being said and some of the stories that are being created, it feels weird, because it feels like not long ago that every single one of those people were on board with, like, the direction that the federation was going and how well the players were doing. And it feels like any setback, is [treated] like a disaster is happening. Do you know what I mean? 'And that happens in football. I get it. Some people have jobs where their job is to speak about the sport, and if that's their opinion, that's their opinion. My goal is to try to create an environment, especially within our team, where guys feel like they can go out, be themselves, be comfortable. We're all on the same page and want to grow the sport in America. People's opinions are people's opinions at the end of the day.' Adams also defended Pulisic for the decision that he made and pushed back at the notion that he had anything to prove to the group.

Alexi Lalas, a former USMNT player and current Fox Sports soccer pundit, responded to Adams' comments this week on his 'State of the Union Podcast,' calling Adams 'immature and naive.' 'This was a strangely immature and naive and weak kind of take,' Lalas said. 'Not that he's defending Christian Pulisic, because we're all going to do that. But the way he seemed to think that there should be no criticism and we should all be kumbaya.'

CONCACAF Gold Cup: Raul Jimenez Strike Helps Mexico Down Honduras And Reach Final
Last Updated: Jimenez netted for El Tri in the 50th minute of the game to secure the win and move into the summit clash, where they are set to take on the USA. Defending champions Mexico claimed a 1-0 win over Honduras in the semifinal of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 on Thursday at the Levi's Stadium in California, USA. Raul Jimenez netted for El Tri in the 50th minute of the game to secure the win and move into the summit clash, where they are set to take on the USA. 'We had a deserved victory," Mexican head coach Javier Aguirre said following the triumph. El Tri advanced to face the United States in the final on Sunday night in Houston, marking the eighth time the two countries will meet in the title game, with Mexico holding a 5-2 head-to-head advantage. Mexico broke through early in the second half with a play initiated by Alexis Vega, who passed to Mora near the top of the box. Mora then slid a pass to Jiménez, who scored his 42nd career international goal with a right-footed shot past Edrick Menjivar. Ranked No. 17, Mexico appeared to extend their lead a few minutes later when Edson Alvarez tapped in a goal from a set piece. However, it was disallowed after a video review determined he was offside. Honduras reached this stage for the first time since 2013 despite a 6-0 loss to Canada in their tournament opener. The Hondurans haven't reached the final since the inaugural tournament in 1991 when they lost to the U.S. in a penalty shootout. El Tri had two good opportunities late in the first half. Johan Vasquez's shot in the box deflected off Honduran defender Denil Maldonado and went straight into the hands of goalkeeper Menjivar. Menjivar then made a sharp save against Marcel Ruiz in the 42nd minute, and Julián Martínez cleared the rebound out of danger. A tense moment occurred in the 11th minute when a ball was played into the Mexico bench area. Romell Quioto aggressively tried to retrieve the ball for Honduras, which led to an altercation with Mexican reserve Guillermo Ochoa, resulting in a heated exchange among players from both teams and a yellow card for Ochoa.
