I actually saw him 3 weeks ago!
We were given tickets at work to take kids to see the Rowdies v USF (University South Florida) in a pre season friendly at the University.
USF were winning 1-0 at half time and Freddie played a stormer in the second half, scoring the 2nd in a 3-1 win. His goal was a cracking volley outside the box.

There was a bit of a debate about whether he was actually as young as he said he was. That would certainly go some way to explaining why he excelled compared to his apparent equals at that age but once he started playing against adults he failed to meet the hype!

I always thought Buster Phillips was better than Freddy :-))
He was a legend on my PES 6 master league City team, him, Ryan Smith, and Guiseppe Rossi.

Adu was really just a US marketing tool by Nike, to appeal to Americans. Still, it got him a date with Jojo, which can't be complained about.
