Adams struggles in Europe

D.C. United draft pick Lyle Adams, who was taken in the 2nd round out of Wake Forest, has struggled to impress in his recent European trials, according to one of his domestic advisers, and could very well be on the way back to the U.S. soon.

However, Adams has had no contact with D.C. United, team general manager Dave Kasper said today. With Kyle Veris already trying to earn a spot, Roger passing his medical and showing up for practice on Friday, and other defenders already hoping to solidify their own places, Adams is behind the eight ball if he decides MLS is his best choice.

Kyle Veris is a great player he didnt get a fair chance in LA. I looked him up on yanks abroad and he logged over 1,000 min in the Norwegian 1st division for IL Hodd. His club got relegated thats why he's back in the states. He'll be one the two center backs in the starting lineup come opening day, I guarantee it!!

There is little to no chance that Veris starts ahead of Roger and McTavish at centerback on Opening Day unless one of them is injured.
