Perhaps you’ve already seen this, but below is a video of Freddy Adu and Michael Bradley playing a game of hit the crossbar in training. At least, I think it was in training.

A few photo’s of Freddy Adu’s AS Monaco press conference…

If he keeps doing that with his face it’s going to get stuck like that.

July 14th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 5 Comments »

A quick confirmation before Tuesday rolls around.
