June 14, 2011: MNT vs Guadeloupe - Jozy Altidore Goal

[BurgerKingRules]

English announcers are so much better than American

[SomdeReggae]

he didnt dive for it because his would be missing an arm if he did.

[wjsanger89]

Why the hell doesn't he do this more?

[rollotwomassey]

This is why Jozy needs to be in there. His ball skills and fundamentals well, frankly, suck but the man has the most powerful shot I've seen from any US player and he can get it on frame. Even that Canada goal, which was a little soft, got in because Altidore hit it so well the keeper didn't have time to react. Also, see his goal against Casillas in the 2009 Spain match.

[TheNearPost]

@rollotwomassey I agree with most of this, but I think ur underestimating his ability to take players on. His touch IS frequently poor though.

[rollotwomassey]

@TheNearPost True, he can beat some players with pure pace off the dribble [see that English defender in the WC where he almost scored off a great run]- but not with deft touches or stepovers.

[TheNearPost]

@rollotwomassey Actually, the kid has had some great moments where he has made a move and gotten by players. Remember the Holland game where he split the two defenders with the back heel and almost found Findley? I'm not saying he does it frequently, but I'd say he burns someone at least once or twice a game.

[dcunited171]

Chicharito has great instinct to find goal, which is an underrated talent. Some people say he's just lucky to be in the right place at the right time, but he's been there on too many occasions to call it luck. At the same time, his goals are mostly tap-ins. This is a great strike.

[TheAtrain817]

that is what we need!!!!!!! great shot jozy!!!

[hworkdedication]

@michael8412 lol they may do all the work but chicharito always finishes it;) chicharito over jozy ANYDAY

[LakerNation111]

jozy's back on track

[haloMaiiFranchise]

they should do that more often

[giggs102]

what a goal.

[Legoman2022]

I sometimes feel that the USA just didnt try much in the group stage since we know were going to the final and owning Mexico. But I dont know, I hope thats what the US is doing, saving the best for last.

[hworkdedication]

@Michael8414 remember when jozy was champion with his club team in the EPL was the 2nd goal leader in his club behind berbabtov?.... O shit wait that was chicharito my bad. Lol

[Michael8414]

@hworkdedication Still better to actually score good goals than be on a team where they do all the work for you :P

[corylew6]

I think he scored because of how well the American Outlaws were singing "We Like It"

[maxstein2011]

Jozy the Jolter

[anonymousshovel]

Excellent goal. We went crazy when that went in!

[dcunitedfan4ever]

So Sick.

[Samismyuncle]

What's going on US!!!

[Samismyuncle]

It's all about da US of A but there performance these last couple of matches doesn't convince me that they will defeat Mexico and win da Gold Cup.We need to improve a lot,especially Dempsey.

[TheDonkeyMeat]

wow.



[jkcrusher18]

stank......nice goal

[4RKU5K1]

great goal!

[icy9ff8]

that's the jozy i remember!

[Sephyrulz]

That's a lot if noise from the crowd. Nice job, KC, nice job.

[PatriotIzzy]

Roonie type goal right there. Excellent score Jozy!

[Michael8414]

Remember when Chicharito did this?...

...me neither

[yanluz86]

@Michael8414

I like Jozy don't get me wrong, but Chicharito actually scored goals in the world cup, and actually won the EPL with Manchester United, Jozy barely gets playing time in his own club. But I still have high hopes for Jozy if he starts scoring goals more regularly.

[hyderulez94]

@Michael8414 he scored 5 goals already dumbass. and he plays at man utd. you're a dumbass

[Michael8414]

@hyderulez94 But did he actually score a good goal like this? no :)

[Michael8414]

@hyderulez94 And can he score a goal like this? No, he can only score tap-ins.

[NeveQuitRage]

@Michael8414 Yes, I agree with you! I've seen him miss the easiest goals

[tripleshawndx]

@Michael8414 yeah but u guys gotta admit, hernanadez is much better than anyone on the US team

[Michael8414]

@tripleshawndx Better than any of our forwards, yes. I wouldn't say he is better than donovan or dempsey though, since hernandez has such little foot skill and isn't very good at linking up with other players, just receiving the ball.

[Sephyrulz]

That, my friends, is what a bullet looks like.

[jmfalcon1]

It was even better to see it in person.

[JBallstar010]

Man, this looks like mad hacks. Even in slow-mo that thing is screaming.

[Hookah79]

***USA***

[shockzllt]

Great shot Jozy Altidore!!!

[davidrc517]

golazo

[bouds1]

now if only dempsey could have hit the ball 1/25th of how hard jozy did, we woulda won 2-0

[Patioox]

that was an awesome strike,

[thenamespreston]

Get it Jozy!

[thenamespreston]

Get it Jozy! It's great to see we have a young player like him who's not afraid of taking long shots!

[LoneSniperFox]

@thenamespreston that's the thing. I have never seen anyone else try a long range shot. Just Jozy.

argh I was screaming at the screen for someone to KICK it! but to no avail. just a short pass that gets knocked loose
