Lang Whitaker's The Links

For our video matchup, Freddy Adu went with D.C. United. Right away Freddy controlled his cyber-self on a run through midfield, bobbing and weaving around defenders, yelling, "Sickness! Sickness!" One of my players slid into him and booted the ball out-of-bounds, smoothly pausing his charge. "Good clearance," Freddy whispered, suddenly realizing what he was up against. "I got too excited."
