True..so disappointing the way the lost though

Freddy Adu is a disgrace to American soccer.

we do, the NCAA tournament...which was the previous high...but the problem is it isnt an every day thing it just lasts for three weekends.

Might as well get him out there if he's going to be the Soccer Jesus for us.

I think the MLS kind of hurt him signing him so young-I really think he'd have been better off playing on the reserves of a Euro squad than benching it up with DC united.

I agree he should have gone to a youth academy overseas, but I dislike him for personal reasons, and because I genuinely dont think he's worth the hype he gets, granted I am a lifelong defender.

Group H and Group G should have a fight to the death to determine which group was easier, but the Ukraine isn't a bad team...I think they may actually be a good matchup for us.

Good night everyone.

See you tomorrow for some madcap dual-game action.

Of course.
And make sure you use that extra hour in bed wisely...

Night all.

What was so wrong with that?

dear sdpm,

You are the glue that holds this together. You are the wind beneath our wings.

Stop confusing the **** out of me with that argument. We like you, we really like you.
