As well as other U-20 standouts.
Late breaking story thanks to Ives.
Adu and a list of other impressive youths will be called into the Oct 17. camp for the friendly against Siwtzerland. Not going to go into detail now, read the Ives, I will analyze tommorow.
Rejoice, rejoice.

Today Freddy arrived at the airport in Portugal with his moms, looking like a big timer in his shades and Benfica scarvs.
Here’s a video of his arrival. It’s funny, just about a month ago, I was standing with Freddy in a different airport at the baggage claim at Newark. Freddy and Chris Seitz […]

Today, through a story put out by the Salt Lake Tribune, we learned that Freddy Adu to Benfica may be closer to happenning then some of us thought. It seems Adu’s agent requested some extra days off for Freddy from Salt Lake so he could presumably work out his European transfer. The story […]

The marathon summer of Men’s US Soccer is now pretty much closed, save for the U-17’s, if you want to count them. The boys and men of the program have gone through a handful of friendlies and three tournaments. The main objective of winning the Gold Cup was accomplished and props are always […]

I have a feeling we will have a new one of these things every few days or weeks until Adu finally makes his move across the Atlantic.
Yesterday we heard Celtic was lining up their bid, and today we get word that Parma may be formulating one as well.
It seems that Parma have interest, but may […]

…for I am in a soccer dream.
If you have yet to realize, let me bring something to your attention. Right now, as I write, we are in one of the most monumental times in American soccer history. Take a second to soak that in. I’ll get to all of the parts that […]

The U-20 Americans now have the prime focus of not only the soccer population here in the states, but also anyone around the world watching the tournament. This is quite a long build up to a game, and you can only hope that the pressure is not starting to creep in. But why […]

That’s really all that needs to be said to garner attention. I don’t care if we are talking a U-10 American girl’s rec. side beating one from Brazil; that is still impressive. But we are talking the U-20 World Cup here, a tremendous achievement.
First and foremost I must say that in level of […]

Copa America is done, with nothing to show for it.
Really nothing. Charlie Davies sorta kinda impressed me for a bit tonight, but I just haven’t seen enough. No young guys really stepped up. That is most dissapointing. No one even really impressed at this “tryout” of ours. Only two […]

That is one way to rid yourself of the bad taste of Copa America…watch the best US Soccer prospect and his boys run up a 6-1 win against Poland, while possibly setting themselves up for a fat pay day in Europe.
On BigSoccer, this was proclaimed as “The biggest game of Freddy Adu’s career”, and that […]
