Call in guys who can fricking score goals before we get to the 85th minute so we're not scrambling for a goal against fricking Antigua.


JK doesn't have faith that Jozy can score for the nats, b/c Jozy doesn't score for the nats, plus Jozy publicly said JK was incompetent. Can't bring that kind of drama into a must-win scenario against a team that Gordon's club team would walk all over.
I'm more concerned about Guat, but if we can't beat them with Clint and Gomez, Jurgen's experiment has failed anyway. Remember, it's his arse on the line. He obviously doesn't think Jozy is worth the trouble.

When did Jozy publicly criticize Klinsmann? Quote/Link please. Jozy scored more goals during WC 2010 qualifying than anyone in our pool. He's only played spot minutes for us this year, because Klinsmann prefers the non-traditional striker Gomez.

And Bhoy, who on here has been doubting Gomez? I don't recall any real detractors. I just seem to remember posters rightly pointing out that Jozy and Boyd have been on much better scoring form than Gomez. If anyone wanted to state their opinion that Jozy Altidore is a better footballer than Herculez Gomez, they're probably fairly accurate in their assumption.

ETA: Just saw the indirect tweet in question. He could be referring to a number of different people. He just got sent off for mocking a Dutch referee at the weekend. He also has had his Twitter foibles in the past, once tweeting that he was left off the Hull City game day roster because he overslept his alarm, and arrived late to the stadium. He also deleted that one ex post facto.
