My Take

Juan Agudelo's story moves me more than his stat line ever could. Born in Manizales, Colombia and raised in New Jersey, he chose to play for the United States, which is the immigrant arc distilled into a career. Breaking through with the New York Red Bulls and scoring six goals as a teenager in Major League Soccer is no small feat, and early hype is a heavy thing to carry. I find myself rooting for that 187 cm striker who bridged two nations on the pitch, even if the brilliant promise outran the eventual return.
