I have no proof that this is going to happen, but in my head I see Freddy Adu and Jozy Altidore meeting in Andorra or somewhere in the Pyrenees mountains this week on a day off from training. They'll sit at the bar, order a rare cognac (because those two are sooooo legal in Europe) and then one of them will hold his snifter aloft and belt out the following toast:
"To Charles Renken, the next "next big thing" in American soccer. May you break ankles, survive the hype & backlash while keeping the spotlight off of the both of us as long as we all shall live. Salute."

Funny thing is Freddy makes that exact same face.
i thought that was freddy at first. wish the kid the best of luck and hope he doesnt get hyped up like so many american players before him. from the article he sounds modest and down to earth similar to jozy rather than players like eddie johnson or freddy adu who really believe their own hype even long after people have forgotten about them.
Poor kid, my doc said it's only a matter of time for someone his age who's already tore his ACL, to tear the other one, probably sooner rather than later.
That's why I hate these articles and this unnecessary hype on the kid. Leave him alone and just let him play. Chances, unfortunately, are his other knee will blow and he'll be done.
