>Former USA international Freddy Adu has joined newly-promoted Polish club Sandecja Nowy Sacz on trial, despite the manager not wanting him there.
>Despite Adu's vast experience, Sandecja manager Radoslaw Mroczkowski is far from happy that he is on trial with his squad.
>"It's a joke," Mroczkowski told Polish website Sportowefakty.pl.He added: "Whoever invited him, let him trial him. What is the point of having such a player?
>"The CEO says that it's marketing. We may as well have Janusz Chomontek [a Polish football freestyler]."
how can one once so promising athlete, who was suppposed to be the poster child for future globally successful american footballers, fall so goddamn low?
was he never as talented as americans hyped him to be or did he just become shit along the way?
Thomas Jenkins
>successful american footballers Like poetry
Jordan Hernandez
No bully pls
Lucas Thomas
he just looked GOAT at 14 because he matured and hit puberty a lot sooner than other players in his age group probably.
Hudson Lee
>fall so goddamn low? because he's actually 39 years old
Samuel Gonzalez
This
He was our Pele! Mantorras 2.0
Lincoln Taylor
Pls Yurup buy american players and watch their league.
Brandon Evans
>you now remember onyewu
Oliver Rivera
Why do people never learn that you can't put pressure on young black men.
They spiral out of control if given any kind of fame, money or get called a future GOAT. Literally every black young prodigy in every sport fucks up if given this treatment.
Aiden Hill
That's not Onyewu
Michael Young
its basically another case of >black kid hits puberty before everyone else >when everyone else catches up he gets exposed he also happened to be included in a media craze so that certainly didn't help
Gabriel Ramirez
He was 22 playing with 16 year olds
Camden Young
DIRECTLY QUOTING the manager: "Instead of building a team with some sense, we search for old vaccum cleaners"
Noah Nelson
If you read his story it is kinda sad. He had too much hype behind him and once he got thrown into the big time (way too soon then he should have), he fell apart and couldn't compete.
Nathaniel Brooks
he played on my local MLS team, he was legit worse than people that had never played pro before.
Adu was overhyped and never developed past the age of 16, America was searching for a soccer star and picked him because he could play at a young age, the problem was he just never got better
now pulisic, thats OUR BOY
Christian Baker
>tfw Onyewu plays for MY team
>tfw hes unironically our best defender
he's actually consistently pretty decent, he just gets beaten for pace if they play long balls over the top or get him 1 on 1 with a pacelet.
Gooch is a cool guy though
Zachary Butler
i mean he played alright in our fourth division
Joshua Torres
When he was a "13 year old phenom" he was actually already 16. Easiest explanation.
Matthew Cruz
Sure Lebron James is such a fuck up
Austin Myers
>Finnish fourth division
I didn't know you guys had 4 divisions
Jeremiah Hill
>vast experience
Gabriel Richardson
The Original Pulisic
Kayden Williams
Like LeBron James amirite? He was corranated as the next GOAT when he was 16 and has basically lived up too those expectations, becoming the 2nd best basketball player of all time.
Tyler Mitchell
shut it
Lincoln Mitchell
>Despite Adu's vast experience
in what? hasn't he just been riding the bench even in the 2nd division in turkey and greece?
Logan Stewart
>tfw you will never play with prime 16 year old JoJo
Eli Gonzalez
Seriously, how many people do you know, who stop growing at 13?
Evan Barnes
Knowing how black players are normally treated in Poland, Adu will probably wish he never came.
Liam Flores
>America's greatest ever talent >Sandecja Nowy Sacz reject Interesting how many americans haven't killed themselves yet
Isaiah Gomez
>MUCH ADU ABOUT FREDDY thank you very much
Hudson Fisher
Pulisic is better than Dele Almeme
Alexander Hernandez
There is so many bad players in average teams in good leagues. I don't undertand how this guy can be soo bad to the point where he can't even play in a second tier MLS team.
Jacob Anderson
that doesn't explain it though, he still should have improved this only works if he was about 12 years older than he claimed and I think someone would have noticed that
Wyatt Carter
We actually have six.
William Hill
in happier times
Wyatt Martinez
Nobody minds black players here. Unlike western anti-white shitholes, Poland is not racist.
Christian Flores
S A D A D
Charles Gutierrez
he lied about his age
William Collins
>not this
Levi James
>Americommercials
Kevin Parker
>American """athletes"""
Camden Phillips
And LeBron is nowhere near being the GOAT, thanks for proving his point.
Brayden Moore
he actually was doing impressive things as late as 2011. He had a pretty impressive gold cup and looked troublesome against Mexico. That said, lower than expected ceiling + poor athleticism for his perferred positions + no interest in defending + high wage demands + subpar work ethic... recipe for disaster
William Price
>ITT: Pulisic' future
Kayden Long
>le fake african age meme
Elijah Edwards
Didn't this guy at one time play along side Thiago Silva at Milan?
Jaxson Fisher
>tf >tp
Matthew Hall
But he was actually good until his knee got destroyed.
Kevin Ortiz
>he's 28 >his career is already over
Asher Davis
>Onyewu dealt with racism during his time in Belgium, even having been punched and shouted at by racist fans while playing for Standard Liège.[7] The most well-publicized incident occurred in the 2008–09 Championship playoff when Anderlecht defender Jelle Van Damme, according to Onyewu, allegedly repeatedly called him a "dirty ape,"[8] even after Onyewu relayed the information to the referees.[9] Van Damme denied the accusations following the match and in return said that Onyewu himself taunted him in a racist way by calling him "dirty Flemish."
why are euros such racist cunts
Liam Robinson
Does he browse Sup Forums? ARE YOU THE MANAGER?
Kayden Wilson
I think "dirty Flemish" is the worse insult.
Michael Robinson
doesnt the manager get to choose his players/team?
Alexander Miller
>relayed the information to the referees lol what a little bitch
Levi Nguyen
just banter la'
Jackson Hernandez
is there a worse fall from grace in the history of sports ever? fuck, the history of anything?
i can't think of a person who once had so much and now has so little.
Samuel Carter
Reminder he actually played for AC Milan
Camden Anderson
>a person who once had so much Adu never had anything other than hype, which was all forced anyway
as for your question: Ryan Leaf
Juan Bell
I don't think so. Pulisic was trained in Europe and I think has more potential to actually make it in the sport. Adu probably wouldn't have stood out if he was on the books at Dortmund when he was 16.
Landon Walker
Maurice Clarett is the Freddy Adu of Handegg
Josiah Gonzalez
>Ryan Leaf
nah, being a hyped handegg player does not compare to being called "the next Pele". also ryan leaf just recently got his shit together and is a motivational speaker now
not even a close
Sebastian Reyes
>implying niggers lie all the time for the u17 WC
Jeremiah Gray
Happens to all "promising" American players.
Landon Jones
>"the next Pele" but that's all American media hype trying to push the sport here among young people. no real potential, and surely not one foreign club or media outlet paying any attention (otherwise he'd have been in some academy over there)
Camden Ross
>you now remember Julian Green and Aron Johanson fuck me lads we really do blow these kids up
Easton Garcia
>No Zelalem
Andrew Flores
>you now remember Brek Shea
Joshua Allen
American hyped him S the new black savior of soccer because American sports are controlled by (((them))) and they push blacks. Just the truth he was never as good as they said he was because if he was truly that good an English club MU or Liverpool would have scooped him up. I'm still happy he's able to earn a living playing pro soccer he has a great life doesn't have to work a shit real job
Cooper Thompson
Lebron James has been an amazing pro and role model. Your racism blinds you bro
Carson Howard
Dude was 3 stars at the age of 15 in FIFA 2005
Alexander Gomez
Beat the shit out of Zlatan at practice too
Lincoln Perry
so the club officials want Adu while the manager doesn't?
is he rayciss or does he think that the higher-ups just want to hire Adu for PR reasons?
>implying Americans will suddenly start following an obscure Polish club which name they probably can't even pronounce just because a failed hyped-up in the past footballer of theirs plays there
Logan Thomas
>beat the shit out of I headbutted him, and we flew at each other. We wanted to tear each other limb from limb. It was brutal. We were rolling around, punching and kneeing each other. We were crazy and furious — it was like life and death.” Afterwards, the weirdest thing happened. Onyewu started praying to God with tears in his eyes, making the sign of the cross. This felt like a provocation, and I got more furious. I was stopped by my team-mates, and I suppose that was a good thing. It could have turned out nasty. All the time, I was thinking: ‘S***, my chest hurts,’ so we had it checked out. I’d broken a rib in the fight.”
Lincoln Parker
Based
Ethan Clark
imagine being at the peak of your career, at ac milan and heading to the world cup, just for your knee to shatter into a trillion pieces during the last meaningless world cup qualifier.
october 13/14 2009 were some dark days.
top striker of the future utterly destroyed forever, and the top defender of the team destroyed forever. not so unironically usa was very strong except for those two positions. remember the random long ball gyan goal. the slovenia goal, and robbie findley?
Jason Ortiz
lol he fucking sucked you drooling moron
Hunter Foster
>what is wrong with english scouting you guys are still falling for the pacey black lad meme at least we'vemoved past it
Jace Brown
played literally two games for bahia and they let him go
Sebastian Taylor
Go bay my cum
Landon Cook
explain this meme
Chase Hernandez
Bahia's fans chant "Bora bahia minha porra" that translates literally to "Go bay my cum"
Angel Turner
He was making good money in nice weather down in Tampa.
This entitled cunt has transferred every year since he was 18, no wonder he never got better.
Michael Williams
no it doesn't, porra doesn't mean cum
Noah Barnes
>broke Zlatan's rib in a fight Beat. The. Shit. Out. Of. Zlatan.
Jason Richardson
No he actually did make it up
Nicholas Adams
yes, it can used as an expletive but the word is a slang for cum
Thomas Wilson
Does anybody have a game from back when he was "good" were they have played until 2017? He probably have messi stats
Gabriel Peterson
just remembered that this guy played in greece kek
Jaxon Hall
I guess people was right when they called him the next Pele. I doubt pele could play for a bottom pole team either.
Ryan Lopez
nah he had an amazing 18 month period leading up to that knee injury, and was never the same again
Ian Brown
if he's 28 I'm about to turn 90
Anthony Scott
played is a bit of a strong word to use here
>if you play football with your buddies once a month you had more games in a year than freddy adu for most of his professional career
Henry Rodriguez
>You now remember the Greek league getting Blacked by two of America's worst eery players to play abroad
