LAHTI, Finland -- Another game, another U.S. win. Another chapter in the growing legend ofFreddy Adu.
The kid has a flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? In Sunday's Under-17 World Championship game, the 14-year-old American 1) was hacked repeatedly and mercilessly by Sierra Leone's defenders, 2) drew two obvious penalties, both ignored by referee Ravshan Irmatov of Uzbekistan, and 3) actually was given a yellow card for "diving" while being stretchered off the field after a clear foul.
After all that, he merely scored the winning goal in the dying moments of the 2-1 win, sending the Yanks to next Sunday's quarterfinals
