I've seen pictures, no play. I've read that he's been killing it lately. Definitely playing well enough to merit consideration in our final 23.

He's been playing very well for Reading, from what I've seen. Has scored two goals in the last few weeks as well. You can find those highlights online. Socceroverthere is pretty good for finding highlights from games with Americans.

If we lose out on that Kai kid to the Dutch I'm going to be pissed. I wonder why no one from USSF has reached out to him yet.

Altidore not even on the bench again today.

I'd rather bad PT than no PT at all.

Jozy will be gone after this season. Wouldn't shock me if he went to MLS.

No one in England will touch him.

I think he'll have a hard time getting a look in Spain, Germany or Italy.

MLS will likely pay him more than any of the rest.

Only thing that can keep him in Europe is a big World Cup.

Prove me wrong, Jozy! Poyet challenges Altidore to return stronger.
Well considering in the past two games that they have played the final score was a combined 6-1, I think Jozy should probably be back in the squad.



I don't think Jozy comes back to MLS. I would be even more surprised than I was at the Bradley move. At the worst he goes back to Holland.

People keep forgetting that Drogba wasn't shite til he was 25-26. I need Crazy up in here to back me up on that one. Strikers in Jozy's mold are late to develop.

Although I'm sure TNBhoy gets off to news like this, I fully expect Altidore to bounce back with a strong WC performance, once he has Donovan, Johnson, and hopefully Johannsson providing him decent service.

Like Lukaku?

Stop making excuses for him. We all want him to be great, but he just isn't. Just accept it.

YOU want him to be great? I just threw up in my mouth a little.

ETA: Lukaku is a freak. You might as well compare Jozy to Balo if you're going to do that, but it would be equally pointless since very few players at that age play at that level. Plus, he actually gets service.

The US will never become a soccer power without a great center forward.

You're the one who compared him to Drogba.


I actually don't think that Jozy's comparable at all to Drogba, Lukaku, Balotelli, etc. His style is much more comparable to (you'll no doubt attack me for this) Shane Long.

Gedion Zelalem named to German U17 team for Euro qualifier. If he plays, he can never play for the United States: LINK

You can only switch to a country you were eligible for when playing 1st official youth game. Gedion is not US citizen now RT @hypton0: Why?

25 in all competitions. I would be shocked, if he didn't break Young Josmer's record for most goals scored by an American in European season(31).

Dempsey's(24) is still the most impressive.
