The U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team is preparing for its next do-or-die match in the World Cup on Saturday.

As the world prepares to watch, one small village just south of the Capital Region is feeling even more excited.

Tyler Adams, 23, is from the small village of Wappingers Falls in Dutchess County. His parents still live in Wappingers.

He is a 2017 graduate of Ketcham High School, where a huge banner has been put up to cheer him on.
