United States coach Gregg Berhalter opened his World Cup news conference on Thursday by wishing all the Americans in the room a happy Thanksgiving which normally means a feast of turkey and football.
No, not that football, although Berhalter and his men who take on England in a tasty Group B clash on Friday hope that one day soccer might find a place at the table.
But the U.S. soccer team might be able to grab a bit of the holiday spotlight with a contest featuring two sides packed with dynamic young players facing off in a contest that could go a long way in determining who gets to the knockout round. "I think it's obviously a huge opportunity to fast track the impact that we can have ," said Tyler Adams, the United States captain, who make his living in the English Premier League with Leeds.
Having not qualified in 2018, Berhalter, like England coach Gareth Southgate, put his faith in youth and is being rewarded, even if there was a sense of disappointment that a team which began with 11 World Cup debutants against Wales could not see out the victory.
