World Cup Teams Starting XI

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

But he actually scores for the national team. In 2013 he set a US record for most consecutive national team games with a goal
Nags Head XI 1 goal
Costa Rica 2 goals
Jurgen' grandchild's team 2 goals
McDonalds Texas All stars 1 goal
Jamaica 2 goals
Deaf Soceity 6 goals (ruled out as he was found with the bell from the ball in his possession at a later date)
 
that is a cracking finish to be fair.

I am being well harsh on him tbh, not the best competition at all, but "you can only beat what's in front of you" or whatever the saying is fits in perfectly.
I agree. I really feel that if Altidore can get hot during the World Cup than he can carry the US into the round of 16 and maybe quarterfinals. But maybe I'm just being overly optimistic
 
to be honest and i mean this in the nicest way possible , if your progress depens on Altidore getting hot you are well and truly screwed , no ?
Pretty much... The US just doesn't have anyone to carry the team and our best hope is Altidore. So yeah, we're probably screwed. But isn't that the life of an American "soccer" fan? Getting overly optimistic every 4 years only to be disappointed because our team is below average even though we don't like to admit it
