re: Do you want to see Bobby Wood's game winner against Schalke today?

I'm glad Bobby Wood has proven me and many others wrong. I was ready to write him off when he performed poorly in his first couple of caps for the Nats, but he has quickly developed into a great finisher for club and country. The prospect of having him and Morris up top for the next several years is exciting, and I think we can squeeze another WC cycle out of Jozy after this one.
Wood is fantastic at making those quick turns around defenders and firing off quick shots, like his goal against Germany last summer.

Just noticed he scored that goal around Benedikt Howedes. That's a World Cup winner he just schooled.
Good to see him and Jordan Morris playing with such poise and confidence.

He's proven a lot of people wrong. But he's got a great combination of technique, speed, strength, and finishing that we don't have a lot of in our forward pool outside of Jozy. Going to be interesting to see how Wood gets integrated into the team under Bruce. Bruce has talked about preferring a 4-2-3-1 or some variation thereof, which might leave Wood on the wing or coming off the bench. It's a good problem to have, I guess.
Which also brings up the issue of Altidore playing better when he has a runner (like Wood) up top with him. Unless we can play a 4-3-3 like AZ Alkmaar played when Jozy was there (in which he drifted wide and also had good runners on either side and a 10 behind him), I think we may need to implement a two forward system if Jozy starts. Just food for though.
