It hasn’t been a great year for US soccer after they endured a poor run in the 2022 World Cup. The USMNT made their country proud after achieving a historic qualification. However, their road to glory ended very soon after facing a poor exit in the round of 16.

The misery didn’t end there after shocking news came during the World Cup regarding their former coach, Greg Berhalter. More than a 20-year-old incident came to light regarding the USMNT coach after he was reportedly involved in domestic violence with his then-girlfriend, Rosalind Berhalter.
The news, which was revealed by Gio Reyna’s parents, shocked the whole of America, as Berhalter is still under investigation. Currently, the side is being led by his assistant coach, Anthony Hudson. However, it seems that bad news is still plaguing them, as they have received another unfortunate piece of news regarding their skipper, Tyler Adams.
Fans react to US soccer starlet’s season-ending injury
USMNT star Tyler Adams recently suffered a blow to his hamstring. The player was forced to undergo surgery for the injury. The 24-year-old picked up the injury on March 18, while playing for Leeds, who rallied for a 4-2 win against Wolves.
This is bad news for both the USMNT and Leeds, who are set to lose the latter for the rest of the season. Moreover, fans are also sad for their star player.
That’s a tough one to come back from

Many fans are optimistic he may return soon. However, Leeds fans are in tears as their Premier League run is in danger.
There is still a chance that he makes it back before season’s end. https://t.co/da0PM8PiH5

It’s been more bad news than good news for the USMNT since the World Cup

This must be shocking for all the USMNT and Leeds fans as Adams was clinical for both sides. Nevertheless, both sides must brace themselves without their star player.
Despite their star player’s absence, the USMNT secured a crucial win.
Huge victory for USMNT
While Tyler continues to recover from the injury, his national side continues to march toward glory. The USMNT clinched a narrow 1-0 win against El Salvador in the CONCACAF Nations League. A second-half strike from FC Groningen striker Ricardo Pepi helped Anthony Hudson’s side clinch an important win.

With a victory, they have reached the semi-finals and will face Mexico. If they clinch a victory in the semi-finals, they face either Panama or Canada. Either way, the USMNT will be looking to lift the silverware without their skipper.
