Adu should've scored.

what was up with all the hype about Adu years ago? Was he tearing up some youth league's?

Guy's a very good player but he's not a prodigious talent or anything.


**And Austria has scored 2-1

Agree Adu = Shaun Wright Phillips. Good player who can turn into a great player with the rght system/coaching since he can do alot of useful things. He is not a prodigious talent ala Messi. However it hasn't helped him much that during the years with DC United he didn't play out wide which is his best position nor in Real Salt Lake playing on that awful tuff. Tough goal the US should of cleared that.

Wow, Seitz was awful today, spilled that first goal and didn't come out on the second. Aus deserved the win and unfortunately got it. I still like a lot of the guys on this team a lot better than most of the "young" guys they brought to Copa America. These guys see to have some speed, creativity and, best of all, finishing ability. All of which have been sorely lacking for a while now on the big team.

Royboy, the bigger teams don't send their stud young guys to the U20 tourney and a lot of them quit the U21 when they hit like 19.

Fabregas, Messi, Walcott, Rossi, Anderson, Nani, Guardado, Agbonlahor, Clichy (I think), Micah Richards, Ryan Babel and many more are all eligible for this tourney but none are playing.
