U-20

The U.S. U-20 team put the beat down on Poland recently. After the droll, uninspired and downright poor showing of the Americans in the Big Boy Copa America, it's good to see some localsiders getting down to business. Adu went for a hat trick and it was the most offensive American team I've seen. Remember, too, that this is a Poland side that beat the mighty Brasil just last week. Not too damn bad. Watching the match, U.S. was always filling every gap and playing so many balls forward. But let's not again discuss C.A.


And on a different futbol note, the Spanish game is changing quickly, with Barca signing Henry and Torres going to Liverpool. The only thing Los Merengues have done is fire their coach, one who just won them a championship. They seemed to have hired Chivu, but that ain't signing Henry, if you get my meaning. For that matter, they've sent off several long-timers like Beckham and Roberto Carlos as well. It seems like a total house-cleaning. It will be interesting watching Real take on Barca with Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Henry and Messi up front. Madre Mia!.

(El Nino is awfully pretty to be a really good futbolista. Is he like Becks? All photo and no go?)
