When their careers first intersected, Peter Nowak's as a coach and Freddy Adu as a player, the relationship wasn't always harmonious. Nowak was a first-year coach with D.C. United in 2004 and Adu was in his rookie Major League Soccer season after turning professional at age 14. Both admitted to butting heads, but now many years later time must be the true healer. Yes, that was Nowak, with his arm around Adu, both smiling after the Union officially announced his signing during Friday's news conference at PPL Park.

The early production hadn't met the hype, but Union rookie Danny Mwanga finally made a big statement. Inserted into the game in the 81st minute, Mwanga drilled a 15-yarder in the fourth minute of stoppage time for his first Major League Soccer goal, enabling the Union to earn a 1-1 tie with visiting FC Dallas on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field. The 18-year-old Mwanga, out of Oregon State, was the first player chosen in the MLS Super Draft - and with the selection came high expectations.

The Union's Sebastien Le Toux is heading to the MLS All-Star game after all. Le Toux was among the 13 players added today for the July 28 game in Houston against Manchester United.

FRISCO, Texas - The new-look Union looked a whole lot like the old Union on Saturday night at FC Dallas Stadium - very little offense. But with just-acquired Michael Lahoud plugged in for suspended Freddy Adu in the midfield, just-traded captain Danny Califf gone from his familiar spot at center back and stalwart goalkeeper Zac MacMath replaced by with untested Chase Harrison, the Union managed to rally for a 1-1 tie against just-as-depleted FC...

FRISCO, Texas - Joel Lindpere scored in the 61st minute, and the New York Red Bulls withstood a late charge to hold off FC Dallas, 2-0, Wednesday night in an MLS Cup wild-card game at Pizza Hut Park.

Freddy Adu was far from dominant in his Union debut last week, and that might be more a testament to the caliber of play in Major League Soccer than anything the attacking midfielder did or did not do. Adu played 62 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw with visiting FC Dallas. After an unspectacular first half, he came on stronger in the second before leaving the game, a little winded but glad to have persevered. He said that at halftime team manager Peter Nowak talked to him about being more aggressive, which is what he was in his shortened second-half stint.

TV: 6ABC.   Most recent MLS games: The Union played to a 1-1 draw with the visiting Houston Dynamo last Saturday, and Dallas suffered a 3-1 loss to the Galaxy in Los Angeles.

When their careers first intersected, Peter Nowak's as a coach and Freddy Adu as a player, the relationship wasn't always harmonious. Nowak was a first-year coach with D.C. United in 2004 and Adu was in his rookie Major League Soccer season after turning professional at age 14. Both admitted to butting heads, but now many years later time must be the true healer.

TOUGH LOVE. It's what Peter Nowak tried to give Freddy Adu in 2004 when he swept headlines as a precocious 14-year-old gem touted as the future of American soccer. It's how Nowak attempted to convey that, despite all the hoopla that surrounded Adu's blockbuster signing to Major League Soccer's then-golden franchise D.C. United, Adu still had so much to learn. Adu wasn't hearing that noise. Through his contract and endorsement deals, he stood to collect more than a million dollars by becoming one of the youngest athletes to sign a professional contract in the U.S. But yesterday a more mature Adu once again shared a podium with Nowak to announce his return to MLS with the Union.
