has opinions about opinions! 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.
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?
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.
