Freddy Adu’s career trajectory has gone off the rails in the past few years. The one-time American prodigy who was compared to the greats of the game at a young age has cycled through club after club all over the globe during the past eight years. Adu hasn’t been capped for the US Men’s National […]

My name is Robert Hay, and I am a fan of Freddy Adu. That statement has for years been quite controversial, as the young American has been the center of much discussion of the failures of American soccer.  We hype them too young!  We don't develop our own talent!  Don't let players like Agudelo and […]

The news that Wolves and U.S. national team keeper Marcus Hahnemann is open to retuning to MLS in 2011 got me thinking about other Americans abroad.  As the MLS has matured in a good and competitive soccer league, it is no longer absurd to think a world-class player could play in MLS.  This is true […]

In the next few days, USMNT Coach Bob Bradley will begin showing his cards and send out invitations to 28-30 players to join his camp in Princeton later this month.  Before those invitations go out, it is time for all the fans, pundits and blowhards to pipe in with our opinions on which 23 lucky […]

Published reports out of Europe and the United States today indicate that Freddy Adu is headed to Aris Salonika FC, the leading club in Greece’s second largest city, Thessaloniki.

Dual citizenship, discussions about players being raised in one country, then playing for another have been running rampant the last several days. Some like the new FIFA rule change, some don't. For some the thought of Guiseppe Rossi playing for Italy after being born in the States, causes their blood to boil. Some take it […]

If reports in the Mexican press are to be believed Pachuca's Jose Francisco Torres will be called into the US squad for Wednesday's mammoth qualifier against Mexico. The call up will have the obvious symbolic significance as Torres, a Mexican-American who plays with one of Mexico's top clubs could figure against El Tri. But in […]

Work commitments precluded me making the short drive to Tampa last night for the first Olympic qualifier. My intent was to provide a press box report of a triumphant US win. However, in this case sitting in front of the TV set gave me all the perspective I needed to make a determination on the […]

Freddy Adu's rocky career in Major League Soccer ended with hardly a notice. Lost in the hype over David Beckham's arrival stateside and the summer tournaments for the US National Team, Adu once MLS' most marketable and brightest star was suffering through a miserable year in MLS purgatory: Salt Lake City. When Benfica came calling […]

Freddy Adu's incredible run of form continued Wednesday as he scored his 4th goal in 5 games as Benfica was defeated and eliminated from the Taca De Liga.
