Adu really wasn't that great in Washington though, from what I saw. Then again he is still so young.
Altidore is interesting cause the U.S. has never had that great world class striker. I guess McBride has done pretty well in England, and we've had some pretty good ones but Altidore looks like he has a ton of potential.
Future does look good though, best players are young, Donovan when he doesn't flake out and disapear, Dempsey, not too many old guys that are really important to the team.
Ouma other players to look out for on the Mexico side are Carlos Vela - forward/striker (U-20), Andres Guardado - Left Winger (Mexican Nt'l. Team) and Guillermo Ochoa - Goal Keeper (Mexican Nat'l. Team).Quote:

Aud didn't do well with that coach and as you said Adu is sooo young....he obviously has skill. When Pele says "that left foot is magic" he's not blowing smoke.
Altidore is good but we also have a big young striker named Kenny Cooper Jr. he's 6'3 and he plays for Dallas FC

Couple those young guys with Beasley, Donovan, Dempsey, Johnson and Tim Howard and we have a good squad.
Youngsters we have that are on the National team that are good are: Justin Mapp (fast forward can't put it away yet but can draw many fouls and pass well), Benny Feilhaber, Michael Bradley, and Jonathan Proctor
USA BEATS BRAZIL!!!!
Thanks to two goals by Jozy Altidore the US wins 2-1 vs Brazil....this is why I watched, maybe the only time the US ever beats Brazil in soccer EVER
I'll call it football when you stop calling french fries, chips and learn how to spell color ;DQuote:

Hey, calm down now... let us not forget that the Chinese invented the game. Don't let no Englishman tell you what to call it, unless their surname is Chan or Ling or Tao. ;DQuote:

CC for the vid
Maybe this is kind of a turning point for Adu? Hopefully so
....Adu is #11, Altidore is #12.....Adu didn't score any goals vs Brazil but he had 3 vs Poland.
US is now 2-1 in 3 games played...I am impressed with them and I hope they keep it up
I think he was talking about how Adu set up the goal by getting into the box and getting a shot off, and the deflection. Altidore mainly just cleaned up.Quote:

I think perhaps the US should look at running a 3-4-3 that would create space for Adu AND Donovan
