Adu roots for Ghana . . . no, U.S. . . . no

Freddy Adu, who made his debut for the U.S. team in an exhibition game this year, was born in Ghana and isn?t sure which team he wants to win tomorrow?s World Cup match.

?I don?t know, to be honest,? the D.C. United forward said. ?I can?t root against either team. I have such passion for both sides. In the end, I hope that it is a great game and that the better team wins.?

The teen prodigee could have been the youngest player in World Cup history and playing for either side in Thursday's pivotal US-Ghana World Cup showdown had his life taken a different turn.
