Freddy Adu would definitely be eligible to play in the 2006 World Cup, the only problem is if he will be able to make the squad, and with the way he is progressing, I think he will. In the last World Cup, Donovan and Beasley were two of the youngest people in the competition if not the youngest, which shows that the USA will play a really young person if good enough. Adu will be 17 in the 2006 WC, which would be extremely young and maybe even the youngest player to ever play in a WC, but with his skill it is possible.
Bobby Convey was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in England pending that he gets a work permit which he will probably get. Spurs are in the EPL and they have a lot of money but like Paris SG they aren't really good.
The USA is starting to get very good at soccer. We continue to develop very good youngsters who are getting signed by clubs abroad. Jonathan Spector, a 17 year old defender, was recently signed by Manchester United.
The USA also has sick keepers. Tim Howard starts at Manchester United and has been very good so far, Brad Friedel was the best keeper in the EPL last year at Blackburn, and Kasey Keller starts for Tottenham Hotspur.
