Jozy, like the majority of the USMNT, seems to be as good as he wants to be.

He was dominate against Panama on Friday and completely disappeared last night.

Third leading scorer of all time by age 27, and on pace to surpass Dempsey's tally for goals and assists.

Who do you propose we replace him with? Wondo? Dwyer? Morris? Sapong? A 17 year old Josh Sargent or someone like Haji Wright who has less than half a season of pro experience?

He was at least better than Wood last night. Wood looked like he was running on legs made of rubber.

A mere footnote on US Soccer history.


He should have been more....and could have been if he wanted to be probably.

If only he didn't want to tear his hamstrings, etc.

Play someone who acts like they care. I don't care who it is. Bradley too. No heart from both of them.

Sure he was injured...but what you are telling me is that taking the injuries into account you are happy with the output he gave the national team and believe his career has progressed at a high level?

He's become a much better passer.

he just goes missing too much. he can be amazing with hold up play and occasionally will pull a skill off and will look very talented. his consistency is the issue imo and he doesn't appear to have mediocre games. he's either good or very bad.

most people will say consistency comes with experience. i guess his never developed. who knows, drogba was a late bloomer too.

i prefer dwyer.

His biggest issue is definitely consistency, but who on our team besides Pulisic is consistently on their game every game? The sad fact is that for as much as everyone hates Altidore he will still probably go down as our best ever pure forward in terms of goals, and the only person in the entire pool who is close to being at his level is Bobby Wood.

The dude who by 27 was the third leading scorer of all time and second only to Landon in time to reach 100 caps is a footnote in our soccer history? Do you think our talent pool is like Spain, France, or Brazil or something?

Our striker pool is:

Jozy, Bobby

400 feet of crap

everyone else.

Jozy will be a part of the next cycle.

Hilarious that you say this and then end it with this.

You know what Dwyer's biggest criticism is right?
