He plays in MLS

. I saw him play one game, I think it was against Chicago, he was doing well. Does he play for US National Team yet? Do you think he can make EPL?

I think he's too young for the big team but was on the junior team at the world cup and played well.

Think it was called u18 but expect him to move up soon .

Best North American player would be Landon Donavon, I think. Or maybe Owen Hargreaves?

Is that the same Owen Hargreaves who plays for Engerland, or a different one.

well Owen Hargreaves is half Canadian, so technically is a North American player

Frank Lampard is great fun to watch, not only is he a hard-working midfielder, he also takes random pot shots at goal, which is always entertaining

Didn't he leave Canadia and move to Germania when he was a foetus. He played his club football in Germania and his International Football for Engerland.

Feck that's like saying Lennox lewis is Canadian.

Well its like saying Freddie Abu is American, I guess it should be where your born not immigrated to or where your mom and dad were born.

Adu is class, and only 16. I saw him play yesterday against Chelsea (DC United Vs Chelsea friendly) he was there only player who really did anything, he's also said he would turn down moves to Serie A & La Liga to play in the EPL.
