    Nacional player doing his best Mexican drama-bitch impersonation, feigning injury.

    that counter attack goal was because adu lost a header which started it all. can't blame him though, freddy doesnt have height or hops.

    If your team's success depends on Freddy winning a header, you have a problem.

    It seemed like he had gotten over the "getting pushed off the ball" thing.

    Guess not

    Adu dribbles for 20 yards, loses it and takes it back but commits a foul.

    adu tries to take on two defenders and fails miserably.

    Now that's a great acting job. Blatantly shove Fred off the ball, then take a dive, and somehow end up with a FK anyway...

    Lima is playing the target striker role well, wins another foul on a long ball.

    Keeper saves the FK which trickles through, Adu heads it back in but his teammate hits it out for a goal kick.

    Freddy with the makings of a nice run, but looks like the ball gets away from him a bit and then a defender falls down, w/ the foul called on Freddy.

    Later, a long free kick comically bounces off the keeper, Freddy tries to lob it back into a dangerous position, nothing comes of it.

    Adu is wide open on a Belem attack, but the pass to him is weak and gets nowhere near him.

    What do you think?

    Maybe you should turn the volume off. It might help you come up with your own opinion.

    I think freddy tried for a "sombrero" at midfield but it went way too far

    I've got English commentary on bet365 (I think they block the streaming to the US). "Freddy Adu needs to do better" was the comment after he took on two defenders and got shoved off the ball. Can't really argue, either.

    His team should try and pass to him when he is wide open. Some terrible ball skills.
