Major League Soccer, since 1996 this unique football league has quickly become one of the fastest growing sports franchises in the world.
With MLS approaching it’s 25th season in 2020, we’re taking a look back at the original wonderkid, Freddy Adu - who became the league’s youngest player and goalscorer at just 14 after being drafted by D.C. United.

Bought him at aged 15 for every time I played on Championship Manager 04/05 and he turned into a superstar like Messi! 😎

"For a brief moment, he did live the American dream, even if it didn't come true in the end..." THAT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM THOUGH

He was rushed for the sake of marketing which is why football in my home country will never take off.

Yes, there's another 14 year old pro in MLS named Emi Ochoa right now, too.

Clearly he developed a big ego because of all the hype and never strove to improve his game since he believed there was nothing more to improve on.

The only time I’ll ever see the union on copa 90😂

I am A Toronto FC fan. but Union hands down have the nicest kit and some of the nicest players in the league. I met Bedoya twice cause he played for the Glasgow Rangers ! and he is a great footballer. I asked him for his shirt and he gave me his and he spent 20 minutes with me talking about Rangers and Gerrard etc. he was so kind. also getting to see your kit up close it is the nicest kit in MLS hands down.

PARA QUE LA MLS SIGA CRECIENDO, DEBE CONTRATAR A JUGADORES DE SELECCION DE SUDAMERICA JÓVENES, ARQUEROS, DEFENSAS, MEDIOCAMPISTAS Y DELANTEROS , PARA LUEGO VENDERLOS A EUROPA. SU COMPETENCIA DIRECTA ES LA LIGA MX.

Enough. Freddy Adu lied about his age. Or do you believe people stop growing at 12?

@ratedpending 4 жыл бұрын

I guess every person born in Africa lied about their age

Actually some of the DC teammates have spoken saying that he acted like a 14 year old so they do believe he had that age.

@tiestofalljays Ай бұрын

If you are gaslit into thinking you are a different age than you really are, you will act that age. “Age Fraud in Association Football” is what you need to look up on Wikipedia. African countries are the greatest offenders, whether on purpose or accidentally.
