When we caught up with the former Men's National Team player and current Fox Soccer deskman he had just finished recording his podcast, "Sent Off", with fellow Fox man, Christian Miles.

Adu had some moments.The U.S. Men's National Team opened up 2012 with some very interesting talking points. Certain call ups, certain omissions, scrimmages and of course the obvious questions that accompany such things. First up would be the scrimmage between the full team and the Under 23's.
The senior squad paid a lesson to the U23 Olympic team with a 4-0 dismantling of their younger brothers.

Of late, there have been many talking points regarding United States Soccer. The senior team has turned in three straight wins, but they've been largely inconsistent in each of these past performances. Prior to those three matches, Jurgen Klinsmann's teams have been hard to describe. We've yet to see a distinctive style out of the senior team and that might prove worrisome.

The New York Red Bull's Thierry Henry came on as a second half substitute to a rapturous reception from the Arsenal fans, and then in pure Hollywood style, scored the winner against Leeds United tonight.

It took Henry less than 10 minutes to show the ineffective Marouane Chamakh how it is done as he took one touch to control Alex Song's clever pass in his favourite inside left position and, before the Leeds defenders could react, he had planted the ball beyond keeper Andy Lonergan and into the far corner.

Chicago Fire Rumor Mill: Wilman Conde to New York Red Bulls?

Alexi Lalas is hearing a deal is in the works to bring Wilman Conde to the New York Red Bulls. The Chicago Fire hold his MLS rights so New York would have to trade something to Chicago before being allowed to sign him. What would you ask for?

One way to get your product introduced to a specific market is to hire a brand ambassador that is well known and carries a certian level of name recognition in the market you are targeting. That must explain the latest celebrity/athlete endorsement between former U.S. Soccer star Alexi Lalas and El Jimador Tequila.

When word broke about a United States-Mexico legends game last week, there remained some speculation about just which players from the storied rivalry would be participating for both sides.

The final rosters are out, and some of the more prolific heroes and villains from the last two decades of CONCACAF's ongoing feud will be on hand for the unique event.

Familiar faces. Familiar result.

An older generation of U.S. men's national team players defeated Mexican rivals of years past, 2-0, in the Legends Game played at the Home Depot Center on Sunday night. Roy Lassiter and Brian McBride scored in the 70-minute match and goalkeeper Ian Feuer came up with several saves to give the Americans their latest dos-a-cero victory.

The MLS SuperDraft was held on Thursday and broadcast live on ESPN2. After two hours of televised coverage, the feed switched to ESPN3.com. Adrian Healey manned the desk while Alexi Lalas and Taylor Twellman handled much of the commentary heavy lifting and despite some hiccups, the broadcast was generally well done.

The United States National Team was in Genoa, Italy on Wednesday to take on the Azurri in an international friendly. I thought I would use the opportunity to offer a business blog of the match and its telecast on ESPN2. The broadcast started with some background on the city of Genoa and the match courtesy of Ian Darke.

If you have 47 minutes to kill and you want to know how David Beckham single handedly transformed MLS from deadbeat to drumbeat. No I kid. Actually, Beckham's legacy is mixed. He did not quite match Alexi Lalas's hyperbole of saviour of football. But he isn't also quite the write off.

Americans didn't abandon their sporting interests in droves to take to an imported sport because of Beckham other than an initial spike out of curiosity.

Joking aside, I link to this Grant Wahl SI podcast with the ABC commentator specifically to give my full endorsement to every last thing he says from the question halfway through on, about criticisms hurled at the US Under-23 team and the fed that, yes, failed at Olympic qualifying. Alexi Lalas is absolutely right, with every point offered.

Fans of the United States and Mexico were unable to see the two arch-rivals face off this year during Olympic Qualifying, but thanks to a blast from the past, they'll get their fix.

The Legends Classic, a match featuring several of the greatest players to play for the US and Mexico is scheduled to take place at the Home Depot Center on April 15th at 9pm EDT.

STARTERS
Jozy Altidore scored 2 goals AZ today, but they could only tie when they badly need wins to claim the league title. 13 goals for Jozy this season in league play, and 17 overall.

The United States National Team squared off against Brazil on Wednesday night and the match was televised on ESPN2. The game broadcast featured Ian Darke and Taylor Twellman, ESPN's primary international team. The pairing of Darke and Twellman makes for an interesting contrast with NBC's primary broadcast team of Arlo White and Kyle Martino.
