Was Freddy Ready?

USA Today yesterday (I was on the road - sorry) has a nice story about DC United's young phenom, Freddy Adu, and his first year in MLS. As the article states, Freddy got off to a slow start, but ended up playing in every match in the regular season, scored a few goals, and learned alot over the course of the season. And props to first-time coach Peter Nowak for managing the whole circus as well as he did. DC had its best season in a long time and is on a roll heading into the playoffs.

Ironically, after playing in every game during the season, Freddy didn't see action in DC's 2-0 first leg playoff win against the MetroStars last weekend. I imagine he'll get some game this weekend during the return leg. Of course, as long as we send the Metrostars packing, I don't much care. :)
