Most likely, this was the greatest game ever played by a USA Men squad of any type. Freddy Adu, Chris Seitz, and Jozy Altidore have had a famous night. They played against a Brazil team that features players who have 10 million euro transfer speculations hanging over them, and these three in particular, were up to their level in terms of skill, style, flair, and most importantly, they were their betters in leading their side to get the job done. The USA wins their group, guarantees a game against a 3rd place side to start the knockouts, and the leading scorers of the tournament reads as follows.
- 3 goals
This youtube link will give you an idea of the absolute drama of this match. Watch for Freddy Adu juggling between two defenders at the corner flag, dribbling past couple more and setting up Altidore’s second goal… outrageous stuff. Nice to see players in red, white, and blue responsible for it.
Given how many scouts come with big checkbooks to the U20’s, I think the MLS transfer fee record is about to be broken.
