USA skipper Tyler Adams revealed during a recent press conference that he’s afraid of spiders. When asked during the pre-match presser at the Main Media Centre (MMC) here if he felt intimidated by England ahead of their Group ‘B’ match on Friday, Adams replied: “I wouldn’t say there are many things out there that intimidate me other than spiders.” To this, one journalist immediately informed the hardworking midfielder about the giant-sized spider figurine installed in the main reception area of the MMC, right next door to the press conference room. “Oh, I’m definitely not going there,” Adams said instantly as the room full of scribes cracked up.
