Freddy Adu is ready to lead USMNT U-20s to Canada

MLS recaps will be on there way tonight, but in the meantime - if you didn't catch it - the US U-20's beat a solid Chilean squad 2-1 at Giants Stadium yesterday afternoon. It was part of a doubleheader with the USA WNT vs Brazil (a dominating 2-0 win for them). A healthy crowd appeared and Freddy Adu, Robbie Rogers, and Jozy Altidore didn't disappoint as all three put in fantastic matches. For Chile, the man to watch was Alexis Sanchez as he had the crowd reeling throughout the whole match.

Esky and Findley lit up DC United for a 2-1 scrapper.

Juan Carlos Toja shut out Colorado at home, which I predicted somewhat blindly. It was just a feeling Allen...I had absolutely no reason to do so, your logic was definitely spot on

Also this week I will highlight some kids to watch out for in the upcoming U-20 World Cup in Canada - if you want some information on anyone in particular, let me know (BonnWM3@hotmail.com).

The David Suazo transfer to AC Milan officially fell through. They are looking to peck a top-class striker from someone else in the coming month. It all fell through when both Inter and AC Milan reported that they, in fact, were the ones to capture Suazo. There is no confirmation yet, but it seems the Honduran target man will sign for Inter once all the intricacies are worked out (i.e. Italian officials get their heads on straight).


Chelsea is closing rapidly in on Alexandre Pato, the 17 year old Internacional striker will try and make his case at the U-20 World Cup as not only Chelsea are interested in heisting him. Alexander the Duck in England? Could be fun...
