Adu was only effective as a teen in DC, his spell in Turkey that was half a season, and in Philly.

He was good in that Gold Cup run in 2009 or 2011, too

It’s weird bc he has only one elite skill, which is the most valued in pick-up soccer and the least valued in elite soccer: taking people one-on-one

It’s kind of like being a running back in the NFL after the analytics revolution

2011. It was a weird call up out of nowhere, but he ended up setting up the game-winning goal in the semifinal against Panama, assisted the first goal in the final against Mexico and sprung the attack on our second goal.

And that was his last match with the USMNT.
