(Born June 02, 1989) Born in Ghana, Freddy Adu came to the United States after his family won a green card lottery in 1997. This lottery win may end up being the luckiest thing ever to happen to soccer in the USA. Adu brings incredible skill to the table that has made him the highest paid player in American soccer leagues at 14. How far he can take American soccer both in world competition and in the hearts of his new countrymen awaits to be seen.
