• Much Adu About Freddy ; Teen Soccer Phenom Brings Bright Smile to the Big City

Minutes from appearing on the MTV program "Total Request Live" on Thursday, Freddy Adu reclined in a chair, staring out the window of the program's Times Square studios. Unlike the throngs of teenagers screaming outside or in the studio next door, Freddy, 14, was neither excited nor nervous. The teenage soccer whiz, who was born in Ghana, looked equal parts tired and relaxed as he did his best to deflect the pressure of being a celebrity du jour and a possible sports superstar.

Los dueños de las apuestas ya están en la banqueta esperando por otra oportunidad, que no vendrá antes de un año. Y para complementar el banquete de sucesos inesperados, el rostro de la liga, Freddy Adu, terminó convirtiéndose en el villano de los cuartos de final, al provocar un escándalo con su técnico, ser suspendido y luego regresar para soportar una humillante goleada en la propia casa. Sus argumentos futbolísticos son equilibrados. Landon Donovan al parecer se ha guardado lo mejor para el final, y Hérculez Gómez poco a poco se ha convertido en algo parecido a un obrero de futbol, que no sólo anota sino que también mete la pierna y sabe soportar la lluvia de patadas del rival. En la parte baja, destaca al jamaicano Tyrone Marshall y el mismo portero Kevin Hartman, siempre y cuando ...

• United Retoma Pulso Y Bate a Hechiceros

Pero a los 27' [Jaime Moreno] toma el medio sector, gira buscando panorama y toca al vacío perfecto para la descolgada de Eskandarian. José Burciaga, defensor de Wizards, escaso de recuros y fútbol recurrió al empujón. Penal que el juez no dudó en marcar, y que Jaime Moreno no titubeó para facturar. A partir de allí el partido fue un mar de imprecisiones. Finalmente a los 68' llegó el centro de [Eskandarian] por la izquierda que Moreno aquieta y toca sin respirar para que Christian Gómez, que entraba a velocidad, facturara el segundo sin compasión. Sale Eskandarian y entra [Freddy Adu]. Más actividad en los tres cuartos de United. Adu se apodera de pelota regalada por Wizards en el centro de la cancha, se quita a velocidad a tres marcadores, y sobre la zona roja sorprende en corto para ...
