How About This For Deflating...

Imagine your a Princeton player. In the closing minutes of the second half you tie up the match 3-3 against a regional rival Seton Hall. Yes! You get set for the kick off thinking about how you're going to take the lead with only 5 minutes left when all of a sudden a player on the other team decides to take a touch and blast a shot from midfield. "What an idiot..." Right?

Wrong. Thanks for Ives Galarcep for posting the following:



The video sucks but you'll get the idea.

The ballsy player who took the shot? Eliseo Giusfredi. Check my last post. Ives thinks he'll go in the top two overall in the SuperDraft assuming he leaves early and MLS gives him a Generation Adidas contract. I didn't have him being selected because at the time I felt like many MLS coaches wouldn't take a chance on a Seton Hall product at that high a spot. If he can continue to get press and do things like scoring midfield goals, he could move into the first round. Giusfredi grew up in the River Plate youth system so he's had some good coaching and knows how the game is played.

He seems like a superior pick to some American kid who was coached by an untrained coach from a young age, right? Face it folks, the American youth development system has a long way to go and I'd rather gamble on a River product then a local one. Not sure what his citizenship issues are, but MLS should seriously consider Giusfredi for a GA spot. He's already said he'll leave college after his junior year.
