I am someone who has in past really been hard on Adu, but in the last two matches he looks like he might eventually get to the stardom that every thought he would. In the Brazil match, he looked a step above everyone on the field, maybe Brazil had a bad game, but Adu simply outshined everyone in that game.

Also, that was an incredible game I don't know how anyone can think otherwise. I thought the US's defense was poor, so I don't know where you got that they played well, unless you include Seitz in the D because he saved their ass many times.

I also don't understand the hate on for the US's style of play. You don't score 6 goals against a good Polish team by playing a nonflowing style of play.

I think the hate is all about being scared that the US are going to be contenders eventually and the world of soccer would hate that, but it's coming.
