Freddy Adu - Goals (HQ)

[@meciadk8128]

That's it's a perfect example of if you're very good but you haven't anyone that guides you in some way... a team, more experienced players or a good coach as a guide .... you can fail...

[@journeytrials]

Scott Hall I know right what a waste of talent! USA system wasn’t developed back then!

[@Argooh]

What? He was never anything special, they literally imported him to be the black face of 'soccer'. They have been relentless ever since the late 90s in artificially promoting black players in Football.

[@johnconnor210]

@@Argooh to become a pro at any sport as a teenager is pretty damn special. Black people have always been involved in soccer. Just look at pele.

[@Argooh]

@@johnconnor210 You can take any young fit boy and give them game time... They will have the same stats as Adu. Surround them with pro players and they will generally fit in a team.. till they are exposed as being clearly not cut out for the sport. What has Pele got to do with anything? He was a Brazillian born in Brazil playing for Brazil. Not a Ghanaian that somehow miraculously got a visa 'lottery' and a multi million pound football contract even when it turns out he was not any good.. Too suspicious.. but they won in the end. Look at the Premier League.. look at what football has become.

[@johnconnor210]

@@Argooh any fit teen can become a pro. Then how come u never played pro sports if that all it takes. Look I'm not a big adu fan I just thought it was impressive that he was able make a pro league at a young age. I mean u know how hard it is to become a pro athlete. I've seen really good athletes never make it. Wither ur a fan of him or not to say that what he was able to do at 15 wasn't impressive is ignorance. Yes I know his talent never manifested but that's besides the point. My point about pele to combat your statement about him making it strictly to have a black star in soccer when their has been pleanty of black stars in the game just not black Americans. Let's face facts if you were to play this man in a game of one on one he would destroy you. When it comes to pro sports theirs no such thing as a bad player their just different levels of talent.

My thoughts exactly. Choosing to spend his developmental years in the US was his biggest mistake. The media hype didn't help either.

Man, what a beautiful player . He should have gone to Italy. That would have made all the difference in the world.

He wasnt that good

[@xenia_ohio]

He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. A wraith...He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

[@rindanefikirleriolan1flano664]

He actually should've left earlier.He had offers from ManU and Madrid.

[@mohammad_ahnaf_afique]

@Eddy P Oh I heared they offered him

[@aydoganrm3295]

If he’d gone to Europe earlier and left the US circus, he would have developed the tactical knowledge and understanding that he was lacking at 19. Playing men’s football at 14 lost him years of specialist coaching.

[@augustlongpre64]

What a player

[@raphaelboulard2598]

Je veux ce mec en ligue 1!!! Pourquoi des petits clubs ne se penchent pas sur lui pour le relancer??Je le vois bien à Amiens, à Guimgamp, à troyes...etc...C'est un pari à prendre, mais imaginez si il retrouvait son niveau, ce serait tellement énorme😍

[@MatkalYael]

Je veux pas être un raciste loin de là. Mais t’as bien vu. Nous voyons aujourd’hui un Baloteli relancé. Pourquoi pas Adu. C’est vraiment triste. Tout ce talent entrain de s’évaporer. Techniquement Freddy est bon plus que certains évoluent en Europe aujourd’hui.

[@feilongish]

What happened to him? I remember this guy use to be so good.

[@johnnyhernandez8048]

The perks of getting rich came

[@dontdoittoyoself6786]

He bares the heavy burden of saving a bad MLS team in the Philadelphia Union. There's a cap salary cap on "domestic players". So Adu wasn't getting paid much but he was taking up that cap space. So he got cut for not taking a pay decrease. That was the last time he was in form but the stats to come with won't show on a bad team. He's always been a playmaker not a scorer. Sub-par players blew a lot of chances he created. Maybe the burden of that got to him.

[@dontdoittoyoself6786]

Project Soccer You say to-may-to I say to-mah-toe, is it the chicken or the egg. He's had coaches fired on him and to the best of my knowledge Rui Costa was one of few if not his only mentor. I believe he got discouraged because he got bounced around so much.

[@BlueKidSwag]

Dontdoittoyoself he was okay not sub par

People needs to stop talking about Freddy Adu, and he is just like Messi in football ⚽, and I believed it was too many two face criticism, and he better than landon donovan too.

[@adriancimpoi8765]

All the right physical attributes (ok, minus the height, but he could have made it without it), great technique and finishing! He should have scored some 100+ goals from outside the box alone (have you seen his long shots and free kicks!?). Adu should have been head and shoulders above Pulisic or Dempsey!
