Good Bye Freddy

Well, to all of our futbol fans out there, Major League Soccer has suffered a recent blow. The American futbol child prodigy, Freddy Adu, has signed just recently with FC Benfica, located in Lisbon, Portugal. Benfica is one of the most premier clubs in Europe and more specifically in the Portuguese league.

I am not heart broken necessarily, but for a league that is wrestling for recognition, I believe that letting this player slip away without more of a fight is a mistake.

With that being said, I think it is a great move for Freddy. I can't blame the guy for choosing Benfica over Real Salt Lake. I wish him all the luck in the world. Who knows, maybe when he's 30 or so, he'll come to the states and save the MLS. Sound familiar?

So, what do you think? I'd like to know.
