Freddy Adu has no chance of developing into a star player in the MLS. Furthermore he needs to play as a striker. Scoring goals is all about positioning and Freddy has that. It’sa talent that cannot be taught but can be harnessed and developed.

He’s at an age were he can be become an damazing striker if he plays for teh right team. If Essien wants him at chelsea then he’s got no better oportunity to develop. He can learn from the best strikers in the world without having the stress of performing as the best. It’s a win-win at Chelsea.

Arcturs, that was not a very clever thing to say, especially coming from a country governed by Fox. Corruption is very big in Mexico and 13,000,000 of Mexicans are now illegally in the USA. Please share your opinion with your countrymen, maybe they will listen to you and follow your example. It is about soccer.. I know but I cannot tolerate such accusations. Nein, Danke!

All this talk about Ghana will not be qualifying for 2010 smacks of the same ignorance that failed to appreciate Ghana’s pedigree before the WC. Go and check Ghana’s history before the WC. When did Cameroun and Nigeria become powerhouses of African soccer? It was when Ghana fell asleep. Ghana has a better record playing all these teams in Africa. We have beaten all of them many more times than they. Ghana is up again; and all of the other countries are going to be second again. Freddy Adu was stupid in the first place choosing the U.S. How much money is he getting from Nike endorsements? They are peanuts compared to what Michael Essien makes in Chelsea. Most great African soccer players still play for their countries: Eto, Drogba, Essien and others. Even with the loss of Patrick Viera, Makelele and others; there are still a lot more to come. If you are good, you are good. You can even play for Afghanistan and make money. I am not sure Adu will get fielded in the Black Stars. However, he should consider playing alongside Sulley Muntari, Essien, Appiah and others who will make him a star irrespective of the nation he plays for. According to a recent marketing study conducted on international soccer, Ghana is the 10th most marketable team in the world; more marketable than Germany and U.S.A. If he wants to play for Ghana, he has to realise becoming a Black Star material is only for the very talented. And for that country bumpkin Chris; the U.S Ambassador in Ghana lives in the biggest hut; moreover when Laura Bush and Clinton visited Ghana, they were housed in the biggest hut in town; actually they were flown into the country by birds.

He seems to be having second thoughts on Ghana just because we did well in Germany. If we had flopped he wouldnt be saying all this nonsense. If the US wants him they can have him. We have better young guys coming up anyways.

Arcturs-

you remind me of a professor I had when I studied abroad in Spain. He worked for an American University so he got paid in dollars, but had the benefit of living in a place where the exchange rate was favorable. All he did was bitch about the US.

where did your paychecks come from? Your dollars? I have a newsflash for you: retiring to a Third World country is different from working there and ganandose la vida.

say hello to the rest of the expat community in Guadlajara for me…

ETucker,

Wow! That last line of your…seems a little out of character based on your previous posts. If it means what I think it does (you could be using an idiomatic phrase particular to the Dominican Republic, where you’re posting from), this blog could do without such profanities.

Unless I’ve miss translated.

Arcturus!
apparently you most certainly do belong in another country, specifically as a retired US expatriot, now a US basher living in a country where the cost of living is negligible compared to here in the US. It is people like you who get on the band-wagon of US haters who blame all current world ills on the US. Heck we are even blamed for global warming, rampant pollution and on and on…when in reality the US cleared up its vehicles decades before Europe, required power plants to catalyze exhausts so very far ahead of Europe and were required to stop discharging effluent into live stream long before other countries. That we are the most wasteful country on earth is another well propogated myth the EC is very happy to spread but I have been to Europe so often I can’t count it any more and I see them just as wasteful as we are. It is currently popular to blame the US for all that is evil and I am happy to see you are getting your jollies to dump on us just like all the other uneducated and uninformed BIGOTS, (thats right, for isn’t that exactly what you accuse the US of being a collection of bigots??????) We are at fault, correctly so, as is the rest of the world. Your general broad assessment that WE alone are at fault for everything is just as idiotic as those of us saying anything else.
Globalization is a step towards a UNITED WORLD and if you do not understand that, go hide in your casa and enjoy the services of your underpaid and semi-enslaved servants in the great nation of MEXICO where you have only two classes, the rich and the downtrodden…You of course are of the privileged class…..So spare us your platitudes and let’s concentrate on fotball and ADU…………..

arcturus-

globalization bashers are a joke. The life expectancy rates have increased and rates of infectious disease have decreased dramatically in the last 20 years.

if you dont like globalization, stop importing US products and dont accept Foreign Direct Investment. Also, try not running bloated welfare states that have to take out loans just to survive.

Mexico is the arrogant team. They also talk before games about and before this world cup, Lavolpe said a semifinal run was expected.

Here’s a hint: try making it to the quarterfinals first. When was the last time Mexico did that? And on foreig soil?

Mexico can keep talking all they want, and nationalizing Brazilians and Argentines, but it wont make a difference.

Seguira chupando verga y tragando lo que viene…porque no tiene otra manera de alimentarse.
