I feel like I'm the only one who thinks this guy sucks. I don't get it. His ball skills,vision, and finishing are hideous. What am I missing? Why is this guy even on the team?

you probably are.

he´s far from his projections or expectations, but he´s righting the ship.

I think he may have a great WC. Really.

He's absolutely horrible, he doesn't score and doesn't create chances.

just b/x mix doesn't believe in heading the ball (i guess to protect his brilliant mane) doesn't mean he doesn't create chances

Altidore holds the ball well up top when he's not playing well. We need a physical presence up there. Nobody else on this squad is capable of that.

Altidore isn't perfect, but he's the best we've got.

No sarcasm, watch some real strikers then watch this clown.

He's a fricking striker, go at the guy and shoot the damn ball.

He's a forward. There is more to the position than just goals.

We must have watched two separate games because he was terrible today. He did nothing and missed a present in front of the goal by passing it right into the keeper. This guy is a joke and this is against Turkey defenders. I just don't see it. Huge waste imo.

Creating chances =/= scoring. Chances are created FOR a scorer by attacking mids and what not. Jozy created a couple chances today actually.

He's not as good as some people on this board make him out to be but he's not horse shite either.

Had a decent game today, having trouble scoring. I just hope one comes sooner rather than later. I ain't tryna have no Fernando Torres on our team.

Turkey would qualify for every World Cup if they were in Asia instead of Europe. You are an idiot.
