CHESTER, Pa. – Freddy Adu admitted he did not want to come off the field in the 62nd minute of Saturday’s game against Columbus.

But that was mainly because everything up to that point had gone so well for the Philadelphia Union midfielder, who was playing his first league game since Philly’s season opener on March 12.

“All is right with the world right now,” a smiling Adu said from the home locker room following the Union’s 1-0 victory over the Crew.
