what happened to this dude
Freddy Adu had the talent but he didn't have the desire to work on the tactical side of his game, plus he let his narcissism infect whatever situation he was in.... His upside wasn't worth the locker room cancer he brought. Although, he was a great playmaker and hat great on-the-ball skill, he is a liability in defense because he is to lazy to track back to help on defense.
He had a bad team in Philly and got most of the blame for players that couldn't score, so he was shipped of to a very bad team in Brazil where to be honest, I'm not sure he'll play.
The enigma that is Freddy Adu.

You are talking to someone who played RB in college at 5'9 1/2. Now if your making a point that RB's have gotten shorter, then yes, you are correct
My nikka you are 5'11. At 5'11, if your good, you can play any position in the NFL outside of Oline. The top 10 RB's last year in the NFL(Yards) only averaged to 5'10. And thats the NFL, if we look at college it drops an inch. If you ask any Pro Scout the ideal measurements for a RB he will tell you 5'10/5'11 for reasons if I even have to explain, it will tell me you aren't that knowledgeable on the game. I can't believe someone not under 5'7 made this comment
I would expect it from them, but not a nikka thats 5'11.
Hold on, bruh, I wasn't complaining.... I had options(I'm grown now, so the dream is dead). Most of the athletes that complain about taller basketball and football players are the athletes that are at or under the male average height. I, personally, just made a bad decision(that I would change in a heartbeat if I could). Soccer is just an alternative for shorter players that have explosive athleticism and an aptitude for high sports IQ.
Like I said...... 50-100 million>>>>>>>sitting on the bench behind Kobe, Lebron, Durant & Melo. 50-100 million>>>>>> NFL RB money that will mostly go to medical bills after you retire....
There is just more money to be made in soccer.
The average MLS is like 50K? That's what you make at a desk job. The level of pay needs to go up
As someone pointed out earlier, the farm systems of these EURO Leagues are too strong to even think the MLS can compete. Its not that US kids are not playing soccer(I will throw out numbers later) its the level of coaching+competition. You can have millions playing a sport, but if they all suck and have no coaching, it wont matter.
Yes. Exactly.
While AJAX Academy in the Netherlands has a full training + strength coaching staff growing and molding young boys physically and mentally, Bob the dentist decides to take up youth soccer coaching and experience some extra quality time with his son (over here in the US).
These farm systems are relentless in providing the young kids with the best of everything. Tactics, coaching, motivation

True...That can't happen until the owners are allowed more control over the transfer market.. That's why players leave to play in Europe.... Even when they're not ready.
MegaTronBomb!
Power is in my hair nikka
y'all been talking this "Soccer is becoming the next big thing" shyt...since before i got signed up for AYSO back in like 92.
The only thing that soccer truly brings to the table, is one more sport that whites can flock to cause of how they're getting funneled out of the NFL and NBA.
@ somebody that's 5'11" being TOO SHORT to play football.

So what you're saying is that it's no bigger today than it was 21 years ago?
