  1. I don’t know if this is the right forum, but has anyone else noticed that Altidore plays better when there are more fans in the stadium? Some players wilt under the spotlight or get intimidated, but Altidore’s performances actually improve in front of large crowds and in big games.

    I first noticed this in the NY-LA game last season when he scored twice in front of a crowd of 60k+. I noticed it also in the U-20s WC and again in the Mexico game (with 70k+). No fluke.

  2. In all fairness to Marquez, he fell because Altidore clipped his ankle during the run. He put some mustard on it, for sure, but he did get clipped.

  3. There are some good ones here, well done guys.

    The photo still infuriates me, Barcelona defender Marquez going down after an 18-year-old kid smoked him and almost touched his shoulder. What a wuss.
