Young soccer star Freddy Adu, who plays for Benfica internationally, started on June 5th for the US National Team against Spain, in which US lost 1-0. Freddy Adu was replaced at half-time but was able to show quite a bit of who he really is and why he was so highly regarded as the next big thing for American soccer.
Freddy Adu looked like he was in charge on the field and played like he was in charge, slicing through Spain’s defense better than any other American has in a while. Freddy Adu, who came in as a sub in the England game a few weeks back, is ready to take a lead role.
That role should be top man on the US team. The team needs some spice, someone to take the game to exciting for the American people. I really think Freddy can do that.
It looks like Freddy will continue to start after that performance but we’ve seen crazier things from the coaching staff. We’ll see if their heads on are on straight in the next game Argentina tomorrow, June 8th.
You can catch that game 7:30 eastern, check your local listings for the channel it’s on.
