World Cup Qualifying Around the Corner
By Nick Barbaro, 12:01PM, Thu. Jun. 12, 2008
I didn't catch the U.S. Men's 0-0 draw against world No. 1 Argentina, but by all reports it was a solid performance, with especially high marks going to Freddie Adu, said to be finally living up to the hype. (Well, he did just turn 19 last week.) Still, a third straight game without scoring a goal can't be all that positive a result, with World Cup qualifying starting this Sunday. Not to worry, though; opponent Barbados tuned up for the game by losing twice to 139th-ranked Bermuda, by a combined 5-1. June 15, 4pm, live on ESPN2.
