Freddy Adu subbed in today during the first world cup qualifying match against Barbados in the 26th minute of play for Pablo Mastroeni. His first few touches of the ball brought cheers from the crowd but no magic was seen. Quick passes from the center of the field trying to setup his teammates for quick and easy scores.
By the time Freddy Adu got into the game the US National Team was up by 3 goals. The US team went on to score 5 more unanswered goals against Barbados making the final score 8 - 0. Although the US was expected to win the match fairly easy, no one could have expected this kind of a blowout.
One big highlight of the day was a hat trick by Brian Ching. Ching managed to score 3 goals during the game. Clint Dempsey had a big day as well with 2 goals of his own.
Freddy Adu continues to play strong giving the coaches something to think about as they work to build their starting roster. By the time the World Cup roles around in 2010, Adu could be a staple. He’ll have one more season playing for Benfica, and a lot more experience playing for the US National Team. The next two years could be breakout years for the young Adu.
