US Soccer: young stars, 16 year old in MLS blasts 30 yard goal!!!

[El Kabong]

Now hear me out fellas, we've been shitty and decent and then really shitty to follow up. Well I have noticed a lot better talent coming through the national squad and I have noticed more and more younger players developing in the MLS (finally it's semi useful eventhough it's dreadful to watch).

Here are the players I have my eye on:

Already on the national team

Eddie Johnson

Clint Dempsey

Onyewu

Just added to the national team

Benny Feilhaber (he's late teens early 20's)

Michael Bradley (the coach's son but he's a young guy atabout 20-21)

Justin Mapp (early 20's)

BIG Kenny Cooper (he's learning still, 22 years old, but at 6'3 he's a good player to have at striker)

Young guns

Freddy Adu (everyone has heard of him but forgets he's only 17!!!)

Jozy Altidore (no one has heard of him but he's 17 too and playing for Red Bull NY)

That kid can put it away can't he?


So yeah they mostly play in the MLS but it's looking better than it used to

.....I had to watch the Altidore goal again.....that's like a 30-40 yard goal! And he's 17!!!!


anyone have any comments on it?

One of my best friends little brothers has been scouted by MLS (and i think he said foreign teams as well) teams for years now. i dunno if he's gonna stay here or head elsewhere but i guess he's insanely gifted.

What did you think of Jozy Altidore? I think he just may be the striker that Freddy Adu needs....the next World Cup is in like 2010 so they have a looooong time to develop but they look like they are doing very well.

And if you can't view some of the clips just double click them and youtube will open up and play them.

Dempsey looks good. Ease up and the tricks and you have a good player.

[El Kabong]

....did you see Altidore?

I agree with you about Dempsey....he's very good, I hope he does well for Fullham
