no, U.S. will never be good at soccer because it's like the 10th favorite sport here, all the best athletes are playing football, basketball, baseball, hockey, track, boxing, ultimate fighting, x-treme sports, should I keep going. Soccer is bigger with woman in this country because growing up it's more or less considered a woman's' sport. Imagine our US team with Allen Iverson, Terrell Owens, Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, Edgerin James, Reggie Bush, Justin Gatlin, and so on with someone like Kobe or Randy Moss playing goalie. it's fun to think about at least but really most American men think soccer is for *******, sorry to burst any bubbles, just speaking the truth

The answer is a big yes! I think the reason the US didn't look so good is the fact that the group they were in WAS the Group of Death! And the US was not mentally prepared for it. If the US had not been so intimidated and they played as if they could do anything, they might have won some games. I don't care what others think or say about the US soccer team. They're my team and darn it, I'll support them!

No, Adu wouldn't have made much of a difference. The poor showing at the first game was too much to overcome.

No the US team would still have lost, too bad they did not go up against Brazil, one can only imagine the final score something like Brazil 6 USA 0

one player can change the team! I think if freddy adu was on the team they would have definitely beaten italy!! I don't know how much farther after that...but they would have had their great moments. but isn't he to young to compete on the international stage? if he wouldn't be, arena would have put him on the field...

even if they had freddy adu, who isnt even that good, they wouldnt have came near to qualifying. they didn't have the skill, and were in too tough a group to advance. i mean they lost to ghana for god's sake!! freddy adu isnt a miracle man!

I'd have to say he is too young for the national team. In the MLS there are better players than him, and we have to wait for him to develop as a player before we thrust him into the world spotlight.

The U.S. had the 27th best team at the World Cup. One player wouldn't make much difference.

No it is soccer and most of America really does not care about that sport.
