The USMNT is going to miss all of those half hearted shots on goal from Jozy. Lol. Not. We’re not going to miss him one bit. He’s in a bad form anyway. Hopefully klinsman is not an idiot like at the world cup and bring wondolowski
While Jozy hasn’t done much at the club level since AZ there is no denying he puts the ball in the net for the Nats and he is physically imposing, does he use that to his advantage? Not always, but I have noticed improvement in his hold up play. With that said, I am ready for someone else to step up and do so consistently, to give us another option at the very least… But to not want Jozy as a part of the team in ANY fashion for the CA or another sanctioned event is ridiculous in my opinion, whether you hate him (which you clearly do) or not.
I get it, he is getting better from being worse after being really good at first. You follow? We can’t continue to put him in simply based on the idea he may grow as a tournament goes on. Altidore is Adu’ing it. He thinks he’s too good to hustle and you can point to. Couple of goals here and there but we have other strikers that are just ok but have heart and grit to work tirelessly.
