Adu! Adu! Adu!

Filed under: Imported

The under-20 U.S. Men's National Team returns to Blaine this evening at 7:30 p.m. to take on Canada. Both teams are prepping for next month's World Youth Chamionship in the Netherlands. The U.S. squad faces a brutal path through the first round, grouped with Germany, Argentina and Egypt.

Not surprisingly the local media spotlight is all over Freddy Adu, but this team is stacked with talented players. Besides Adu, Eddie Gaven and Tim Ward have already proven themselves with the Metrostars. Hunter Freeman, Chad Barrett, and Danny Szetela are also regulars for their MLS squads. Then there are the guys that are still in high school or college that most people aren't even aware of. Marvell Wynne, a defender currently playing for UCLA, and Lee Nguyen, a high school midfielder from Texas, look to be two players whose profiles will soon rise.

I went out to Blaine yesterday for practice and spoke with head coach Sigi Schmid and assistant John Harkes. You can read the Q & A's over at Blue Sky Soccer.
