Sarah Schmidt, wife of U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Tyler Adams, has been a visible supporter throughout the team's World Cup journey. Schmidt attended multiple games with her and Adams' two sons, cheering on the squad as they prepared for a pivotal Round of 16 match against Belgium on July 6.
Schmidt shared her game-day enthusiasm via an Instagram post on July 5, which featured her oldest son, Jaxon, born in 2024. In the photo, Schmidt is seen wearing a patriotic blue and red top with a red skirt, while Jaxon sports a USA men's national team shirt. The caption read, "my game day bestie 🫶🏼".
The upcoming match against Belgium is considered one of the most significant in the history of the U.S. Men's soccer program. The team received a boost with the news that striker Folarin Balogun's red card suspension was overturned, making him available for the game. However, Adams is recognized as a crucial player for the team's offensive strategy and game rhythm.
Tyler Adams, 27, often dictates the pace of play and helps the team function as a cohesive unit. His presence on the field is expected to be vital for the U.S. as they aim to reach the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
Schmidt was anticipated to be present at Lumen Field in Seattle for the match, supporting Adams and the team in their quest to advance in the tournament.
