It has been a bad weekend for both my teams. Villa got off to a bad start losing 2-1 against Portsmouth. And D.C. United lost 3-1 to Chicago Fire. Villa's next game is at home against Liverpool next Sunday, and D.C. United also play that Sunday against the San Jose Earthquakes in San Jose.
Remember I told you about rising star Freddy Adu a few days ago? Well, he's currently in Finland playing for the United States in the FIFA Under 17 Championship. The U.S. beat South Korea 6-1 a few days back, and despite being kicked all over the park by the South Koreans, Adu scored a hat-trick!
Various scouts from all over the world are watching the Championship looking for upcoming talent. I just love the quote from Everton's youth academy director, Ray Hall when asked about Adu: "His composure was brilliant. He needs to come to a club in England to expand his development, possibly us".
