Beyond Altidore, Donovan, Dempsey, and Davies no one else on the team can play striker competently. Connor Casey is a lug and Eddie Johnson is a big nothing. <br /><br />Adu might never get in a game, but if you put him in as a late sub when you needed a spark it could work.Peter Eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00743700904199105652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-763875159058859442010-02-15T18:09:10.876-05:002010-02-15T18:09:10.876-05:00Nice article. I&#39;m Aris fan and people should know that Cuper is ranked as one of the best coaches globally (16th). Additionally, i must inform you that Adu played in fields full of mud and water. No player in the world could play well under these conditions, especially Adu as a technical player. Normally, the matches in which Adu participated, should be cancelled as a result of bad weather and dangerous field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-15358596260280778062010-02-15T15:40:59.674-05:002010-02-15T15:40:59.674-05:00Well, to be honest our league is not as good as spanish or premier league.However, our coach , Ector Raul Cooper is widely considered as one of the best coaches in europe and our team ARIS, a very competitive soccer team. Freddy needs a second chance and if he passes and scores as he does in the last games, then he deserves a call up for 2010.jimmy3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-1249292134267110642010-02-15T15:12:56.727-05:002010-02-15T15:12:56.727-05:00Is the Greek League considered so good that we should start considering Adu? And the last game I saw him in was the Gold Cup which is probably one of his more recent actual games since he hasn&#39;t played at all for his other club teams. <br />Don&#39;t get me wrong. I think its great that Adu is in a lower league now and the expectations are easing off of him. It sounds like he has a good coach that believes in him and a team he can really rally with. But its too late for the World Cup. He is still a young guy and there is always 2014!JDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340233189139668263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-16884003908599613652010-02-15T13:57:58.450-05:002010-02-15T13:57:58.450-05:00inside info: i&#39;m an Aris fan, and freddy was great yesterday (1st goal).he&#39;s a very fast and smart player.i don&#39;t know about the past, but USA will need himjimmy3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-54980373135126788152010-02-15T13:06:54.577-05:002010-02-15T13:06:54.577-05:00PrimeTimeGunna, <br />Yeah its football- so the phase offensive drive is best left to American Football. <br /><br />Nice article, I remember when the kid was being linked with every team all over the world- shame it hasn&#39;t quite worked out for Adu just yet,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-59858345015423557512010-02-15T05:27:35.473-05:002010-02-15T05:27:35.473-05:00Very nice..I agree with everything youve said!<br /><br />@JD: those 3 games were probably a while ago, or else you wouldn&#39;t be saying that..costfe05http://www.blogger.com/profile/14387953736373846321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-85386469117856017582010-02-15T01:41:00.864-05:002010-02-15T01:41:00.864-05:00I don&#39;t agree with this at all. I&#39;ve been to 3 games in person to watch Adu play and most of his ball skills just end up killing our offensive drives. I&#39;ve never been impressed with the spark he&#39;s brought to the team and I&#39;d much rather see Torres out there. He has the club time and he also brings a dimension that the US doesn&#39;t have. I&#39;m not gonna rule Adu out forever, I just think he&#39;ll have to wait till the next world cup :-)!JDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340233189139668263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-27753151303163560382010-02-14T23:10:01.993-05:002010-02-14T23:10:01.993-05:00Nice article. I think Freddy deserves a call up for 2010. Maybe I&#39;d Bradley decides he&#39;s still not good enough, he can try his luck with Ghana; we&#39;ll be sure to make hood use of him and leave Bradley scratching his head in SA (with G. Rossi laughing at the whole situation). Seriously, Adu has clearly matured in his game over the years an I agree that he deserves as much a shot as any of our current options.PrimeTimeGunnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15328828451093575307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-42187040680124402532010-02-14T21:47:56.134-05:002010-02-14T21:47:56.134-05:00I agree, I wrote about it a few weeks ago that one on one just dribbling at defenders there&#39;s only Dempsey on the USMNT better than Adu.Nichttp://www.foppol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-38563312343387030982010-02-14T21:33:17.792-05:002010-02-14T21:33:17.792-05:00Amen brotha!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-57800034981823935172010-02-14T21:10:54.781-05:002010-02-14T21:10:54.781-05:00Just got yourself a new subscriber. keep up the great writing. we&#39;re headed to 2010 with tix to 6 games. and 1 of those games happens to be us vs england. <br /><br />hope to see adu/beasley if their match there. both need their time. if they prove they&#39;ve got what it takes i think they should get a shot!Tamarindohttp://www.livingintamarindo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-8727920751069472262010-02-14T21:09:54.088-05:002010-02-14T21:09:54.088-05:00If nothing else Freddy brings one potential game changing skill set with him, which warrants consideration for inclusion in Bob Bradley&#39;s roster. Let&#39;s say the US is down late in a game and needs a singular moment of individual brilliance from off the bench. Who in the US player pool has the technical ability to make something out of nothing 1 v. 1? I&#39;d argue Freddy does. For that reason alone I&#39;d include him on the roster. He&#39;s also dangerous on free kicks. He&#39;s a home run threat for a US side otherwise lacking creativity off the bench.<br /><br />I love Jose Francisco Torres as well, but he is more of a string puller. I don&#39;t think he goes forward enough for the sort of specialized late game sub I could see Freddy being.Revhttp://twitter.com/Rev215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718887490848299154.post-10015688154376961342010-02-14T20:47:54.330-05:002010-02-14T20:47:54.330-05:00What about Jose Fransisco Torres from Pachuca? I would take him before Adu anyday. He actually scored today too.
