    Maybe this will become one of those famous moments in history so, like, in the future, when people ask you where you were when you heard that Adu became a U.S. citizen, you can say you were on a plane over the Atlantic and the announcement was made by the pilot or some such nonsense.

    It is later revealed that Freddy is really 29 years old. Story at 11.

    Is that Freddy, or Fredua? I'm confused.

    Actually the article has the results of the game in which he scored 2 against the Chicago Fire. That's probably why the [R] is there.

    2+2=5.

    We can't officially relax until he's cap-tied.

    I think we should write our congressmen demanding that February 13 be made a national holiday.

    If Kornheiser is talking soccer it must be big news!

    I have to say I was surprised and happy to see this in the Post this morning.

    Freddy is the thirteen year old U-17 phenom. Fredua is his younger brother, who plays for one of DC United's Super-Y teams. Also talented, though perhaps not as advanced as his older bro.

    Actually GersMan posted on the Junior forum that they are both named Fredua. The one playing with the U-17's goes by Freddy and the younger goes by Fro.

    Does he have any more brothers besides Fredua? 11 Adus on the USMNT would be fine with me...

    I've read in a couple places that his younger brother wants to play for Ghana.
    But if Freddy does well with the US men maybe he'd change his mind.
    Does anyone know of any pair of countries that had two brothers play against each other?

    More importantly, does he have any more brothers named Fredua?
