‘USA can do a Holl lot more’

- FROM DAVID MCDONNELL in Doha

TYLER ADAMS said the USA have shown they can compete with the best at the World Cup and warned Holland not to underestim­ate them.

Gregg Berhalter’s side take on the Dutch on Saturday in the first of the knockout stage matches.

The USA have conceded just once in Qatar – a Gareth Bale penalty in their opening game – and shut out England in their second group game.

They booked their last-16 place with a 1-0 win over Iran, and Leeds star Adams (above) said: “A lot of teams who play against us are favourites, but it doesn’t mean anything.

“We’ve shown we can compete with the best and we will need to be at our best against a quality side like Holland. But it’s a big opportunit­y for us.”
