Kasey Keller interview

Kasey talks about the World Cup, Europe and the youngster. Or rather, the MLS marketing of the youngster. Includes this tidbit...

Freddy Adu made his debut for the US in January. Could we see him in Germany this summer?
I've gotten a few reports and the kid's not ready yet. This would never happen in Europe - look at Theo Walcott, he goes to Arsenal and no one says he's the next Pele. They just say he's a young talent and Arsenal will try to make him a star. I just don't want to see this kid implode. There is one thing he should be doing right now and that is trying to play as well as he can for DC United. His representatives have to decide at some point whether he wants to make a few commercials or make a career. He has to dominate MLS before he does anything else. Let's get a reality break here - play well for your club rather than talking about whether you're joining some big European team.
