Tyler Adams starts them young! USMNT star's infant son watches on as Bournemouth midfielder makes long-awaited international return in Jamaica Concacaf Nations League semifinal win

The Bournemouth midfielder came on as a second-half substitute as the USMNT scraped past Jamaica to reach the CONCACAF Nations League final, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-jamaica-player-ratings-haji-wright-gio-reyna-save-usmnt-concacaf-nations-league/bltd6cad74b9dd274c3" target="_blank">winning 3-1 after extra-time</a> thanks to some late heroics. But while reaching the final was a huge moment on a collective level, Thursday night was hugely significant for Adams. It marked his first international appearance since the 2022 World Cup, a moment which his family - young and old - were there to witness.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Adams' girlfriend Sara Schmidt was there at AT&amp;T Stadium alongside several members of his family. Most notably, though, was Adams and Schmidt's infant son, Jax, who could be seen watching on intently despite being only a few months old. Indeed, Schmidt noted in her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/sarah_schmidt22/3328908442594677233/">Instagram</a> stories that it was "Jax's first game day".<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt1e308719b19892c4/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_3_Split_-_Facebook.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt1e308719b19892c4/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_3_Split_-_Facebook.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt1e308719b19892c4/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_3_Split_-_Facebook.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Tyler Adams' infant son watched USMNT-Jamaica" data-source="GOAL/IG: sarah_schmidt22" data-copyright="GOAL/IG: sarah_schmidt22" perform:prop="uuid:blt1e308719b19892c4;width:1920;height:1080"></picture>

WHAT WAS SAID

Adams and Schmidt <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/congratulations-tyler-adams-usmnt-star-confirms-girlfriend-sarah-schmidt-baby-boy/bltab14a8e90185fd17" target="_blank">announced back in November 2023</a> that they were expecting a baby boy, who was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tyler-adams-becomes-a-father-usmnt-captain-bournemouth-star-welcomes-baby-boy/blta6f014945b0e2775#cs953ace8f71776f99" target="_blank">born in January of this year</a>. It hasn't taken long for the Bournemouth star to get his son integrated into the soccer lifestyle, even if Thursday night wasn't the USMNT's best showing. Gregg Berhalter's side came within seconds of Nations League elimination before Miles Robinson's deflected header in the 96th minute sent the semifinal to extra time. Then, Haji Wright and Gio Reyna put on a show to help send the Stars and Stripes to the final - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gregg-berhalter-usmnt-fans-loser-coach-seconds-concacaf-nations-league-semifinal-embarrassment-jamaica/blt60d181262e9d2d6b" target="_blank">even if it did paper over some of Berhalter's weaknesses as coach.</a>

THE GOSSIP

Adams' return to the international stage shows he is slowly recovering from a hamstring injury that has hampered his 2023-24 season. He made his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tyler-adams-welcomes-return-chaos-12-months-last-premier-league-appearance-injury-usmnt-bournemouth/blt358da64201c182df" target="_blank">return for Bournemouth last week</a> in a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over Luton in the Premier League.

DID YOU KNOW?

It is clear his minutes are still being managed as Berhalter brought him off shortly after he came on when it was clear the match was headed to extra time. That suggests another spot on the bench against Mexico in the final on Sunday, although Thursday's impressive performance shows Adams is able to make a difference even from a finite amount of minutes.
