Eh... he had a crappy tourney, but showed flashes of brilliance. The goal against Italy was set up by Adu and he made some great runs.

It wasn't like many people in the US team actually impressed.

Actually, I was impressed by pretty much the entire team... except Freddy. As a team, they didn't deserve to go out as early as they did, they played three excellent group matches (didn't see very much of the last game).

Barrett was probably the player of the tournament for the Americans, but I can see several of those players making it in Europe. For Freddy it's hard to tell though. He has talent but he plays like... a sixteen-year-old. He still has a helluvalot to learn. Only time will tell if he'll ever develop into a good player.

That's why it is an under 21 tournament

BTW, how did our boys do? I left the game at the end of the first half (Geena Davis :love when it was 1-0.

Yes, so not U16.

3-0. Not a great match, but a deserved win with a few nice goals.

Adu is the next Pele about 1/10th of his matches. The other matches he is a so-so player. That's why it's equally tough for the coaches to give him starts and to keep him out of the lineup.

I don't know what to make of that and he could be like that the rest of his career. But if you've watched a match where he's on his game, it's really entertaining in a way that the other players on the field are obviously incapable of doing.

Him and Lampard are too similar, I know money is no object to Chelsea but £35M is still a lot of money for a player you are going to alternate.

It'd be £40m and we'd play them both. Where we'd have Tiago or Gudjohnson as the third midfielder last year we'd just have Gerrard the formation would be awesome:

code:

              Cech
Ferreira Terry Carvalho Del Horno
             Makalele
         Gerrard Lampard
 Duff                          Robben
           Drogba

Or whoever for Drogba.

Anyway our sights have switched to SWP now.

It isn't a streach to think of Makalele as the unheralded MVP of that team. Look at the rut Real Madrid went into when they let him go. Gravesen helped a bit, but he's no Maka. When you are the best DM in the world, it doesn't matter if you a few years older than your competition.

if you are a CM though you play both DM and AM.
