I respect your position USAF.
You planning on going to any of the few USA home games that left?The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough

First he wasn't consistent (he's now scored in 5 consecutive matches for the USA). Then he had to score against top 20 teams (there have been 2 in his current streak). And now he has to score at the World Cup!Originally posted by USAF View Post
Sorry to waste your time -- I know it's valuable as you keep having to move the goalposts!"Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."

your standard is certainly high for the young man.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Four thoughts on Jozy Altidore, a scorer of blazing confidence
Jozy Altidore just keeps scoring, with a huge hat trick Wednesday, now having struck in a record five consecutive U.S. matches. A foursome of considerations on the recent Sunderland signing:
Altidore is guiding an exciting attack
Two weeks ago we were left to wonder if Clint Dempsey’s surprise move down the world soccer food chain might dilute his drive and subsequently dent the United States attack?

Not moving any goalposts. YOU & others have been overly impressed with his performance thus far, and now going to take offense because I don't share your enthusiasm. Well you're WASTING your time because I'm not jumping on your bandwagon....It's probably the same one you used to proclaim Adu the second coming of Pele.Comment

I think he can be a "great" player for the U.S., so I expect production on a consistent basis, over a long stretch.Comment

On June 12 you posted that he wasn't consistent.
Then on June 17, after he started his scoring streak, you said he had to score against top 20 teams (even though he had already bagged goals against Spain, Germany and Mexico).
Yesterday he hit a hat-trick against #13 ranked Bosnia, but now you're saying he has to score in the World Cup.
And that is what you call moving the goalposts!"Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."

So far he has this year. You couldn't ask for more, so let us see how long he can keep it up. Has scored against some decent opposition too, his stats this year in good games is even better than Hernandez of Mexico.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

I know what I said & I stand by it. If having a streak from June satisfies you & you are happy with that then good for you, BUT I want more. Now he's in the BPL, hopefully he can be dominant there, & at the WC next year.Until then I'll be in wait & see mode.Comment

Have to be truthful...
Altidore scored 3 excellent goals and made a hell of an assist!!!!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment
