I saw Freddie play with the under 17s in a tournment in Lancaster, Ca. when he was 14. I got within 3 feet of him & while stocky, he would have looked up at SWP. With that, he ran the Costa Rican team till there tongues were hanging out. Mexico put 3 guys on him and beat him to a pulp. Every time he got knocked down, he got up and back at it. Took some guts. The coaches pulled him with about 20 minutes left I think just to keep him in one piece. Typical Mexican national team play.
BTW, the most impressive player was Jonthan Spector who anchored the central defense. He paid a few of those Mexicants back. He was just about ready to turn 17 and a few months later was picked up by Manure for their development team.
