You mean the team that won their group with England in it?

England never does anything in WC..Im sorry good on paper, hasnt been able to produce an ounce of anything in the WC for years, but I agree Adu wouldnt have done good in the 2010 WC. The usa team in 2010 wasnt half bad..2006 they played real good.

He was good, but the MLS hyped him up at too young of an age and it stunted his development as a player, now he's just an average baller.

He is older then he claims to be.

How old was dude when he came?.. U could see it in his face that he was older... Plus he never grew after that.

He cheated on jojo and thus his career was ended while she made millions of a song bashing him

He never improved much athletically from the time he was a teen so maybe the suspicions about him being older than he claimed had some truth?

:ehh: Sounds logicial, but his face always looked young :manny: At least he's still ballin' out and gettin' paid, thought he was washed up somewhere

Adu is ass though,he wasn't nowhere near as nice as MLS or he himself thought.]Signing to play overseas and riding the pine over there was a huge mistake.

His family made a bad decision by keeping him in the US. If you are giong to be a football star you have to be in a top academy when you are young...being 14 in the MLS isn't going to do shyt for you. Freddy Adu is washed up at 23....hope he saves his money.

He couldnt handle the big leagues.. He was sent over to play in France for a season and couldnt even make it big there...There are many ballers at 14 and 15 that could outball Adu, he was a hype used to boost american ball..Just like posterboy Donovan

Landon can actually play though. He played in the EPL on two separate short loans and balled out in each opprtunity.

I wouldnt say balled out...english league is basically fast pace game mostly hard running which fits Donovans style..he failed horribly in the Buendesliga when he tried there though, Dempsy is natually more talented than Donovan
