EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Saturday's match against Germany gave U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter a chance to try out what he calls his "Plan B" in the U.S. midfield. Otherwise known as: Life Without Tyler Adams.
It's not the first time the U.S. has had to rummage around in its tactical bag to find a way to compensate for the absence of the injured AFC Bournemouth midfielder. Just last June, the U.S. won the Concacaf Nations League without Adams' influence. The situation was similar two years prior, with Adams reduced to a late, 37-minute stint in the extra-time win over Mexico in that year's Nations League final.
