from my readings, it seems that some people are down on freddy adu's long term future with team usa and his club career as well. maybe, being "down on him" isn't the right word, but have lower the ridiculous expectations that were put on him early in his career. clearly, being so young still is playing a role, but i'm still trying to learn more about the us team and i don't know if the mainstream soccer media is just being knee jerk about his lackluster mls career. what are your assessments of his future? will he be someone that the usmnt will be built around for 2010, 2014, and 2018?
