Apparently feeling nostalgic for the year 2004 and all those Campbell's soup ads, the Beeb got all Tweet-stalker and tracked down The Biggest Midget in the Game™. It's servicable piece but that's probably all you can get when your "interview" is conducted via fax. Still, it's worth a read if only to remind you that Freddy is A) still talented and that B) his lack of playing time may...

Remember Freddy Adu? Of course you do. In 2004, he was the 14-year-old who was seen as the future of the game in the United States and a potential new global star. The subject of gargantuan hype when he made his Major League Soccer bow in April of that year for DC United, Adu still holds records as the youngest player and goalscorer in the MLS's short history and is also the youngest player to appear...

Is Freddy being told the truth or is he already falling into the same trap he did with Benfica and Monaco? To be perfectly honest, if I were him I would probably be buying a gun right now.

Remember how everyone used to constantly question Freddy Adu's age? How come no one has questioned Jozy's? Clearly the man is 32 years old; there isn't a 19 year-old on the planet who possesses the poise that this guy has.

by Michael Cardillo Filed under: European Soccer , US Soccer , U.S. Men's National Team Almost two years ago to this day, one-time U.S. teenage sensation Freddy Adu swapped his Real Salt Lake colors for a high-profile transfer to Portuguese giants Benfica. In the summer of 2007, the move seemed like a perfect spot for the much ballyhooed midfielder, who made his MLS debut with much media fanfare at...
