Joze Altidore
19 year old from Boca Raton, FL
just scored 1st goal for the US
against T&T on ESPN2

the score should be about 4-0 right now. TRI had the ball in their half for about 4-5 minutes total in the first half. Hopefully come June when they play more WCQ they will play a little better and finish more. The passing looks a lot cleaner compared to the Mexico and El Salvador games. Might help that they are finally at home though.

That was a nice goal. Altidore is sick. This kid has a great future. He'll help carry the US team for years to come. Whatever happened to Adu? I know he's playing he doesn't seem to be living up to the hype?

considering he is the same age as Altidore he has seemed to go backwards. I remember when he was 14 he was supposed to be the next great thing.

That was a sweet goal by Jozy Altidore set up by a great touch from Donovan to get past the defender. That's his second goal, kid is sick

I may be crazy, but US looked like a bona fide futbol team on that goal. If only it happened more often.

I was thinking the same... I guess Landon's learned a few things over in Munich

FIFY.... JEEZE! 3 asst for Donovan, 3 goals for Altidore

Me too. Landon looks really good as a set up man as well.

Now if he won't choke like he did during the 2006 world cup

Thats what I was saying after the game. He looked so bad in 2006.

can he transfer from the Red Bulls to Newcastle pls?!?!

... nah a kid like this is EXACTLY what MLS needs to grow.

he is spains second league right now isn't he?

Ching can suck it. He blows. Suck and blow, Ching, suck and blow.

Adu will 'be back'...he's only 19, after all. Just trying to find his place in Europe right now. I think he's with AS Monaco after a brief stint at Ben-We'll never be as good as Porto-fica

Donovan's stint at Bayern is done. He sucked there, real bad.

Altidore seemed much more promising at 19 than does Adu though.

No doubt and I completely agree. But to throw a 19 year old under the bus already for a lack of results is a bit over the top. If he was 29, I'd understand. But he's still finding hair on his body where it wasn't before and his voice still cracks! Give him a chance to grow up first, both on and off the field, then throw the book at him. If anything, he has much more pressure to perform than Alti does simply because he was annointed the greatest soccer player the U.S. has ever produced, even before he stepped foot on a soccer field playing with men and not boys his own age.

Just my two cents...

Ching on the other hand sucks ass. TT, you hear me?!?!

That guy just isn't meant to play in Europe. He only got a shot at Bayern because he sucked Jurgen's schwanz.

Mexico loss helps us...
Sven has to be gone now, right?

If they don't advance, yes...

Sven is gone before the next game probably.

It will still be US, Mexico and Costa Rica... We just have to hope either SLV or HON can play well in the 4v5 intercont. matchup.

He already left Red Bull for Villareal. Then they loaned him to Xerez, a 2nd division Spanish team. He says he's still getting accustomed to that league. But seeing Villareal paid 10 million for him, they will want him back.

he has done more in 6 national team games than he has done in most of his league play. either he has shined with the big light and the idea of playing for his country... or he just hasn't played the competition he is in league play.

He said after his experience in the last two games he has learned a lot that he hopes will carry over in Spain.
