weird.......
Shame the reporter covering the match couldn't have asked the 45,000 assembled Libyans what their first scorer's name was.
Any game Stalteri scores in can't be all that competitive. Still, winning in Ghadafi's garden and after conceding two pennoes must be encourageing for the 'interesting' kraut in charge of Canadian football.

That's great for Jason but the trend to select players from the A-League is bothersome. I thought Osieck said that he wasn't going to include players from the MLS because it wasn't a good enough league?

Soccer Prodigy Signs Nike Deal
Any under-17 Canadian players inking deals like this?
WASHINGTON - Thirteen-year-old soccer prodigy Freddy Adu agreed to a $1 million contract with Nike, The Washington Post reported Monday.
Adu, already an offensive star on the U.S. under-17 national team, also has agreed to be represented by SportsNet, LLC.
Arnold Tarzay, a lawyer and family adviser, did not confirm the amount of the deal to the Post, which cited sources for the worth of the multiyear contract. The paper said Adu is not likely to sign a pro contract for at least a year.
Nike spokeswoman Celeste Alleyne did not comment to The Associated Press. A call to a representative of the U.S. under-17 team was not immediately returned.
The agreement comes less than a week after Nike signed high school phenom LeBron James, the expected No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, to an endorsement contract worth more than $90 million.
Adu would become ineligible for NCAA (news - web sites) soccer with this deal, but he does not plan to play in college.
A native of Ghana, Adu came to the United States when he was 8 and has been training with the national team in Bradenton, Fla. He became a citizen in February.
Adu played for the under-17 team that lost to Mexico 2-1 in Lancaster, Calif., on Sunday.

I've read a bit on this kid- apparently he's a freak. I think he played an exhibition against DC United (or one of the MLS teams), and schooled a lot of those guys. Basically, the kid has all the tools, and the toolbox.
When you have that kind of talent, and you're handed $1m at thirteen, who needs the NCAA? A smart parent would put a lot of that money in trust anyhow (apparently what him Mum plans to do) and earmark it for education. This way, he's free to pursue the absolute best training Europe can offer.
He'll be over there within two years. What will really be interesting is to see who he signs with.
