men's national team, there he is, tyler adams. young fella, congratulations.l me what was the first feeling you had after that win, excitement, relief or hungry for more now? >> yeah, thank you very much for having me, guys. yeah, a huge relief. i think for us it was our goal coming into the world cup to get out of the group, but now anything can happen. we have that american mentality that in a playoff setting, we p anything can happen. >> anything can happen meaning you all can win this thing. you're the second youngest team at the world cup. has that been working to your advantage in some way? >> yeah, 100%. the mentality of the group, we're a fearless group, brave, relentless, diverse, all the qualities of a team that can win this thing. so we have confidence in our group and now it's about going out and executing. >> and a lot of concern about christian pulisic, of course. what can you tell us? have you talked to him? how is he doing? >> yeah, he put it all on the line. he's doing all right. he's in great spirits feeling a lot better now but what a big pl

talking to players like tyler adams. way he handled the press conference before the game with iran and the questions he was getting about politics and international affairs is just a credit to who he is. this entire team. they are all different in their own way but come together like any good team. heartening to see what happened yesterday and what's happening with this team back home. my son was texting me. he was at school. a lot of the kids were at school watching this game. shout-out to all the teachers out there that allowed their classes and students to watch this game. it is a wonderful thing that is bringing us together not just to celebrate american soccer but celebrate america the greatest country in the world. a pleasure to be in doha at our set here. >> dana: how significant that they made it through to the next round? >> we have qualified for men's world cups in the past. our women's team is a champion and always at the top. men's team is trying to get there. we qualified for world cups in the past and gotte

you played the sound from the team captain tyler adams, who answered those questions with incrediblese and respect and class. what we are seeing here is that this tournament is a lot more than just games. it's not just about soccer. it is the intersection of politics and human rights and sports colliding all together. recently, we had the u.s. soccer federation where they had that one-time graphic where they removed the islamic republic emblem from the flag. that, of course, angering the iranians. the team saying that they knew nothing about that. they are now caught in the crosshairs of it all. i had an opportunity to ask the team, there's a lot of distractions off the pitch. how do you stay focused? is this a distraction? they said, while they stand with human rights, they stand with women's rights, they stand in solidarity with the women of iran fighting for basic human rights, when they take the pitch, think are focused on winning. of course, in a couple of hours, they are going to be playing a really important game against iran. it's a must win for team usa. if they win, that me

tyler adams feels like this is a good iranian team.asics of the soccer side of it, then they would be doing a disservice to themselves and to the tournament itselfch. but when you have these types of tensions around a game, it could impact emotion on the field as well. >> yeah. >> tyler handles that with such grace at just 23 years old. for those that are not big soccer fans or don't know much about who these players are, one of the added pluses for the u.s. team is this is such a young, strong, healthy team. just from a sports stand point, talk about this match-up that we're expecting to see, the players from iran and the united states. give us your assessment of what you're going to be looking for and who you think comes into this game the stronger of the teams. >> well, we've seen two different types of iran teams that tournament. we saw a team that lost to england in the opener 6-2. they played very conservatively. excuse me. they played very conservatively. but, sorry about that. they played very conservatively in that game. but i

but tyler adams said from the beginning, it's all about mind set.sten to what he had to say. >> we have made a lot of progress in the past four years. we have grown and matured a lot as a tale. we knew we were going to be underdogs in a the lot of of these games. we were never going to come in saying we have the most quality or the most talent. although for u.s. soccer, we probably have more talent than ever. >> so this is a young, energetic team that's incredibly tall want. they have every chance to make some waves on the field when they take on the netherlands. but also in a separate issue, there's been a lot of talk. we have been speaking with a lot of experts today. there's some concern for the iranian team as they return back to iran. there's some concern about what may or may not happen to them. the move that they made on this global stage of not sing issing their national anthem was just such a strong move, to stand in solidarity with the women of their country. a lot of experts we have been talking to say pay close attention to that team. be

tyler adams had to answer that and he was also educated on the way to say iran, it's not iran, as theyay often in the united states, it's iran. this is what adams had to say. >> my apologies on the mispronunciation of your country. yeah, that being said, you know, there's discrimination everywhere you go, you know, one thing that i've learned especially from living abroad in the past years and having to fit in in different cultures and kind of assimilate into different cultures is that in the u.s. we're continuing to make progress every single day. >> reporter: so as you say, anna, this is a plus win game for the united states, it's a rematch of their epic world cup clash in 1998 where iran won to knock the united states out. the american players do not want a repeat of that, but the hype and anticipation and the intensity around this game is only building and it's going to be fascinating to see which set of players can handle it best. the iranian players are already in a very, very difficult situation, famously they refused to sing the national anthem in their opening game, they then

they're young captain tyler adams found himself in the most bizarre press conference on the eve of thisas hardly asked about football. this was the kind of question that he had to deal with. >> you say you support the iranian people. but you're pronouncing our country's name wrong. our country is named iran, not iran. please once and for all, let's get this clear. >> my apologies on the mispronunciation of your country. yeah, that being said, there is discrimination everywhere you go. you know, one thing that i've learned especially from living abroad in the past year and having to fit in different cultures and is simulate into thifrn different culture is that in the u.s. we're continuing to make progress every single day. >> reporter: so the match kicks off in about two and a half hours time. it is a repeat of the 1998 world cup in france. which iran won 2-1, knocking the united states out of the tournament. the americans have to win tonight. it is win or go home. and they are hoping that history doesn't repeat itself. >> we'll soon find out. thank you, don. i appreciate it. >>> joinin

naturally tyler adams being named captain. that's a no-brainer decision.lisic. pulisic was the young player that was part of the group that failed to qualify in 2018. all of the eyeballs, and all of the attention is going to be on him. here's the point, the united states doesn't have a superstar but they've got a group of four or five really young up and coming players on the world market and so when i look at what christian pulisic can do, the off the ball predator, the player that can finish off plays, if he's playing at the highest of levels, the united states can surprise some people. i think he has to be at his best if the united states wants to do something. >> the first match tomorrow against wales, that's going to be a real test for sure. taylor, always a pleasure. thank you so much, we appreciate it. >>> coming up here on "good morning america," the oscar honors for michael j. fox and other notable names at the governors awards.

s team captain tyler adams said. it's a huge opportunity.se words. i mean, the usa team, chances are not spectacular. i think inside the united states, we would always say we're we should win right, but the netherlands has been actually one of the top teams in the tournament. you know, they've been really solid back to front. they they've they've got a number of stars, obviously, but they're also a really, really cohesive unit. they're very clear on the way they want to play, and i think it's going to be a big challenge for us. we've shown that we can do it. as we saw with the goal yesterday with the ball, but we've also shown that we can do it without the ball. we did a great job against england and a great job against wales without the ball, and i think we're gonna have to be as stellar against the netherlands to advance. so let's pretend you're coaching team usa on saturday morning. what flaws or what potential weak spots do you work to exploit in the netherlands? i think they've you know, we've been able to. i think when we've been reall

more contentious at the pregame news conference when a reporter for iranian state tv turned to tyler adamsadams on how to say iran country is named iran, not iran, please once and for all. let's get this clear. the iranian reporter then asked adams about the discrimination against black people in the us, are you okay to be representing? the us meanwhile, there's so much discrimination happening against black people in america. my apologies on the mispronunciation of your country . um you know, there's discrimination. everywhere you go. um you know one thing that i've learned especially from living abroad in the past years and having to fit in in different cultures and kind of assimilate into different cultures, um is that in the us where we're continuing to make progress every single day, it's a process i think is long as you see progress. that's the most important thing. back in iran. anti government protests have been spreading for weeks, the unrest stemming from the custody death of a woman for not wearing her headscarf properly has spilled into the world cup stage , with spectators boo

certain extent, the us players have to go through it and, and i give a couple of examples like tyler adams who was asked certain questions. and he tried to have that balancing act of trying to be justifiable and understanding, showing some empathy and also saying, hey, you know, i know what you're going through. i know what the players are going through in having to have having to balance all those things ends up making it that much more difficult as a play as a person that really doesn't have any influence from the dip. matic side has actually no control over it. for let's get the thoughts of professor my job as ari who's a professor from cat, our university, an expert on all things iranian affairs, and professor, how has iran so well, cap campaign? here, a cat actually 22. been viewed by people back home in iraq. i'm, it's obvious that from day one, this participation of iranian tim has been politicized on the 1st a game where they are, the team basically did not repeat the anthem and was reflected badly. and inside there on there was a clear division between people because part of it an

but i was blown away by tyler adam's response. what a captain. he said, first of all, i'm very sorry for mispronouncing iran instead of iran. i've been all around the world. there's racism around the world. what i love about the united states, we continue to work on it. we continue to try to get better, and i thought the grace under fire was extraordinary, but i did take note the anger and the hostility toward the iranians for him even mispronouncing the name of their country. if i thought was very revealing. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. you know, i mean you, hit the nail on the head. the way in which we saw our team captain responding with such class, such composure. we're talking about kids in their 20s. these are young men, of course. the composure under fire. some frustration from the iranian state media there, really just grilling them, and the fact that he said, look, as you mentioned, i have traveled all over the world. i have seen discrimination all over the world. here in america, we are conscious of that. there's an effort to try and

i think arguably what we witnessed yesterday and today, and i'm going to refer to captain tyler adams. his response towards the iranian reporter, i don't know if you guys saw this, his response was so eloquent and so respectful and so in terms of sobering and disarming, you had to want to root for the americans. he understood that those other players on the other side in iran were in a very tough position. he understands there is this very venomous attitude toward america based on something the players themselves had nothing to do with. talk about that islamic emblem -ing removing their flag. and he was able to endure everyone, including the people in iran on his side. so, when these athletes decide to take these stands, they really are risking a lot. some people are obviously risking iranian family and friends. here at home, you have people going against you, perhaps not necessarily being praised as you want to. and so, when they make these bold gestures, these gestures that say i am with you, i see you, and i understand it is not right, and i'll do whatever i can in whatever way i c

. >> i thought it was interesting, the captain, tyler adams previewed the match.. >> i think england are currently one of the favorites to win the world cup. i think that and a lot of games people would probably say that we're the underdogs. but we carry that with pride. it doesn't mean anything to us to be underdogs, to be favorites. >> look, sometimes it's good to be the underdog, right? you want a little element of surprise. what is the sense there in qatar of how this could end up? >> well, if you look at the way this world cup has gone so far, it's been one upset after another. i was in the stadium to watch lionel messi and argentina take on saudi arabia and the saudis beat them 2-1. next day i was lucky enough to be at another upset when japan beat germany, the four-time world champions so this has been one of those tournaments where the upsets are now becoming expected and so perhaps that's a moment for the united states team. by the way, they have never lost to england at the world cup. in 1950 they humiliated england by beating them in that tournament the

captain, tyler adams.if he is ok playing for a country in which there is so much discrimination against black people. adams said this. he said there is discrimination everywhere you go. one thing i have learned from living abroad in the past year is having to fit in in different cultures and assimile into different cultures. in the u.s., we are continuing to make progress every day. as long as you see progress, that is the most important thing. you have watched a lot of these press conferences. what did you make watching that one? j.j.: i thought it was extremely aggressive and not usually the kind of topic that comes up in a press conference. a soccer press conference. the aggressive tone was from the start. adams was attacked in terms of his, you know, the way he pronounced iran. and then taking them to task over the racial injustice issues in the united states. he was asked about the position of u.s. and naval fleets in the persian gulf so this is really just a kind of -- i think it was inflamed by the

their captain tyler adams said they're not scared of the english. >> yair, i mean, england is still aat the end of the day. intimidation factor, i wouldn't say there's many things out there that intimidate me other than spiders so it's fine for me to obviously have the opportunity to play against all these big players. i've done it before. >> reporter: and just remember, boris, there have been some very, very big upsets at this tournament already. so let's not rule out another one happening tonight. >> yeah, potentially, don, we won't ask details about your allegiants in that match but want to ask about qatar becoming the first host nation to be eliminated after just two matches. >> reporter: yeah, it's great to be first, but it's not great to be the first team to be knocked out of the world cup and certainly not one that you're hosting. yeah, they were beaten by senegal, 3-1 tonight. a mini triumphed. they've become only the second host nation to be knocked out in the group stage and the first nation to be knocked out after just two games. there are jokes on social media in this part
