If you live in Southern California you might want to take a drive to Lancaster this weekend and see Freddy Adu in action for the U17 squad. Check out this link: http://www.latimes.com/sports/socce...,614052.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-soccer
Here's all the info including directions, parking prices, schedule, etc.. Temp is supposed to be in the 80's Sunday. http://www.lancastersoccercenter.com
Cool. Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately, I will be in Buenos Aires and cannot attend However, will those who live withing driving distance please attend and give the rest of us a report?
No. If you want to see more Freddy you'll have to wait 'til he comes to a field near you, the Youth World Championships in Finland or until he is playing for the Galaxy next year.
OK, this is off topic (sort of) 'cause it's comments on the thread: NASL Fan: how can being in Buenos Aires be 'unfortunate'. I'd love to be in Buenos Aires... Snake Eyes: is that Brad with a shotgun in your Avatar? If so, no wonder... Wolves_67: actually, Finland is closer to me (and to where he'll be playing next year--RFK--a field that is really close). Haven't you read on these boards that he'll be playing for DC United, not the Galaxy? Don't you believe what you read on BigSoccer?
Well, he is coming to Minneapolis soon... but take a camcorder anyway! (You could make money selling the tape )
No no no! I keep trying to tell everyone that since the US National team training, at all levels, is moving to LA and Victoria Street, Freddy's mom will feel much more comfortable with the family moving here so the family can be together more as he trains with the nats and plays for the Galaxy.
I will be attending the U-17 game vs Mexico, I will videotape Freddy Adu and Memo Gonzales most of the game. I want to see what this hype is all about on Freddy Adu. I happened to be in Uruguay on vacation during the same time of the South American U-20 championship, so will I try to make some comparisons.
There is no comparison. Freddy is the next soccer god! When Pele saw him he said; "Hey! That's the next me!!" When Maradona saw him he said; "Anyone got a mirror and a straw?"
Awesome, let us know when copies are available I'm taking my brothers minicam to their match at Blaine.
I'm going to document this thing ... that's why I started this thread ... if he plays I'll get the footage.
He better play or I'll ask for my $2 back! I'll post a full report, along with several others, tomorrow night. And it's against Mexico to make it even better. It's a whole lot cooler here today too which will help things. Lancaster can be hell this time of year. I'll have a long talk with Freddy about why he needs to move to LA before he gets sucked into that group at DC and has his life ruined.
Freddy Adu is the real deal and blew me away with his skills. He literally was on another level from all the players on the field and put on a dribbling clinic on the Mexican team. This guy no joke has more talent than any player on the USMNT!!!!! He is the future of the US team.
In the Monday game the USA beat Costa Rica 3-2. Freddy scored and so did Memo. I would guess there's a report at USsoccer.com by now or there will be tomorrow AM.
Adu wearing his million dollar Nike shoes. I have yet to see the prodigy play Freddy "Blew by U" Adu.
