Too all the Altidore haters..
He is the best center forward option for the US. He finishes and also assist.
Check out the beautiful well weighted assist to Pulisic against Trinidad. He does the job better that any other option the US has.
I too think Altidore gets bad and undeserved criticism. He is often left alone with few, if any good balls coming his way. In order to be successful lone scorer you need a much better supporting crew than what is "usually" gets.
Ben Myers, July 17, 2017 at 12:37 p.m.
There is a stark contrast here between the USMNT 2nd team in the Gold Cup and the German 2nd team in the Confederations Cup. Also, count me in among those who are not fans of Altidore.
Wow, such insight - Germany has better players and more depth? Who knew?!?!
Wooden Ships, July 17, 2017 at 12:41 p.m.
I've always wanted to pull for Jozy, but his lack of professionalism has bothered me. Had Bradley been a stronger Captain perhaps Jozy's laziness and whining wouldn't have risen to the level it has. He would piss me off as a teammate. He has scored goals and made assists, some of them real quality. But, who has had the predominant minutes up top the last 5 years. As a coach I would have a hard time counting on him. And now, where we will have players that will provide great service will he know how to make those runs and show timely. Another thing that I hope Jozy will recognize as his remaining years loom, hustle to win the ball back, if not for your own pride, how about for your mates. You have players nipping at your heals now, turn it up a notch. One other thing, keeping Zardes and releasing Rowe is befuddling to say the least. Smart, technical, work rate, no thanks.

Ridge makes a lot of good points. My thought is that, while earlier who Arena wanted to evaluate drove the selections, now Arena's choices focused more on the team than the individuals.
Right Winger, July 17, 2017 at 1:16 p.m.
I am not an Altidore hater. I am one who thinks his time is over and has been for some time. Talking about a pass to being outstanding. That's his job. The problem is he doesn't do it often enough and his complaining gets in the way. Move on.
Thomas Brannan, July 17, 2017 at 2:05 p.m.
If with two strikers: Dwyer and Wood. After that falls off. With Jozy it's not personal it's just an opinion. Dwyer missed a PK. PK s are different.
When Dwyer pulls away a bit and pushes away and then goes to the far corner on the ground that shows something. Dwyer's overall play and playing knowledge appear to be better than Altidore. Not a derogatory comment on Jozy. Everyone is just trying to earn a living. Just an opinion.
Ric Fonseca, July 17, 2017 at 3:17 p.m.
I'd take Dwyer over Jazzy and Zardes. So even Pele and other greats have missed on a PK, so what, this is the nature of our jogo bonito. But for keeping Jazzy.... wow!!!
R2 Dad, July 17, 2017 at 5:33 p.m.
Y'all seem to be focusing on Altidore the player, rather than the system we use that requires a target man up front.There are two notable countries that play a target up front, USA and France. The difference is Giroud has his back to the goal so he can play in speedy wingers with real quality: M'bappe and Dembele--they're very dangerous and the team is explosive and powerful due to the fact that Giroud can hold up the ball to bring these other people into play. The US uses a target man the way those teams that inhabit the bottom half of the top 100 do, with long balls out of the back for JA to chase down. That is to say, we use a target man because we don't have many options up front. As far as Jozy's physiology is concerned, he is not a middle distance runner--he is a big, powerful sprinter. He cannot run all day the way a 440 runner can, but that 440 runner is also not packing the extra 40 lbs of muscle Jozy is. When you armchair quarterbacks complain about his work rate, you're not factoring in the fact that his physiology does not allow him to run all day. Go ask a 100 meter sprinter if he can run 6-10K during a soccer match, and still have gas in the tank for gut-busting runs. Having said all that, I don't like having to rely on Jozy and think if we have to play him he would suit a 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 much better than a 4-2-3-1.

R2 Dad, his size does not prevent his fitness. That is just an excuse. Match fit is match fit and the one thing that is within everyone's reach if healthy. Beside he is a skinny 6'1" and 175 lbs. The Hulk is 5' 11" and 187 lbs. When I played competitively, I was a 205 lbs wing half and ran opponents into exhaustion. You are barking up the wrong tree with fitness as an issue.

Recent professional game studies, using GPS and multi-camera player tracking, document a change in the types and frequency of movement in the game. For example tracking to the nearest 1,000 of a second, players even at the highest professional levels, spend 52.3% to 60.8% of their time standing, walking or jogging in games. Percents vary slightly by report but the following data shows what attributes players in various positions should possess. > Stribers Strikers sprint 5% of the time, run fast 7.2%, run at a moderate speed 17% of the time, run slow 15.2% of the time and stand, walk and jog 55.6% of the time. > Wing Midfielders sprint 4.3% of the time, run fast 7.1%, run at a moderate speed 18.3% of the time, run slow 17.3% of the time and stand, walk and jog 53.0% of the time. > Central Midfielders sprint 3.5% of the time, run fast 6.9%, run at a moderate speed 18.4% of the time, run slow 16.9% of the time and stand, walk and jog 54.2% of the time. > Wing Defenders sprint 5.3% of the time, run fast 7.3%, run at a moderate speed 18.1% of the time, run slow 16.9% of the time and stand, walk and jog 52.3% of the time. > Central Defenders sprint 3.9% of the time, run fast 6.2%, run at a moderate speed 14.8% of the time, run slow 14.3% of the time and stand, walk and jog 60.8% of the time. >> Since all athletes rely on Fast Twitch muscles for speed and Slow Twitch muscles for endurance running and each players store of energy for each muscle type differs, the challenge is to match each players physical, mental and intellectual abilities with the positions a team is playing and the capabilities of their opponents. As Cruyff observed players who observe and understand the game are often not faster, but arrive on time more often because their ability to scan the game and to understand what they see is far better developed. A slow player who acquires and processes more information faster, understands what they observe and makes instant decisions is far more likely to arrive on time than the track star who wins Olympic medals but doesn't have the mental processing speed and decision making ability of the slower player. As Cruyff said fast runners run track, those who can anticipate faster and make decisions faster play soccer. >> So running speed is only one small part of playing speed. Pep didn't have the speed of other players but he saw everything and acted, therefore he played on one of the best professional soccer teams in the world, Barcelona.

Good stuff Jay. There is a place in the game for empiricism, here it is revealing. I've done fartlek training as a player and a coach. Some had the deer in headlights look when you explained what we were about to do.
R2 Dad replied, July 18, 2017 at 2:39 a.m.
Bob, please don't talk about "back in the day" as rationale for your position. "Playing Competitively" is not the same as playing at the highest levels of the sport, so running the opposition into the ground might have been an achievement then but impossible today. MLS today, EPL today, IS a track meet compared to 20 years ago. I don't think that's good for the sport in either country, merely an accurate observation. But keep telling yourself professional players with 10 years on the USMNT are lazy.
Bob Ashpole replied, July 19, 2017 at 2:34 a.m.
R2 Dad, first you say Jozy is too big to be match fit, then you say MLS players today are all at the highest level of fitness and will never be exhausted. Which is it? I played on a predominately Hispanic Army team against local colleges in the mid-80s. College was the highest level in the US at that time. NCAA rules allowed 11 subs a half. Most college players were fit for 22 minutes a half. It was like playing against an all star high school team. What do you think Arena's strategy was in the last match, starting 11 fresh players against Nicaragua?
Glenn Auve, July 17, 2017 at 8:06 p.m.
For a basically meaningless tournament why not just keep letting the younger players get experience? I know Arena mentioned mixing the youth with some veterans which seems sensible. Guzan hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire so seeing him go is not a huge problem. And it was pre-planned anyway so he can meet his teammates in Atlanta.

Mr. Lander, surely you jest!?!?! Jazzy is NOT the answer, there are many others more worthy of playing his position, some that are not on this most recent squad, or for that matter, that kid from Seattle. Then again, I suppose one can continue to "dream on!"
beautiful game, July 18, 2017 at 1:40 p.m.
So far the only player to have shown consistency at an international level is Pulisic; and this constant argument over second and third tier players is an exercise either false hopes or inability to judge player quality. The recognition of player subtle quality nuances seems to to bury itself when NT players show a couple of good.
Jim Hougan, July 18, 2017 at 1:53 p.m.
Kellyn Rowe put more and harder shots on goal than the rest of the team put together. He was consistently dangerous every time he touched the ball.
Kevin Leahy, July 18, 2017 at 2:04 p.m.
I already know how Howard is under pressure. Would like to see Hamid get the Wednesday game. Howard is at an age where his game could disappear fast and the team will need someone soon in that role.
Forever Blue, July 18, 2017 at 8:08 p.m.
I would have kept Rowe. He was of the bright lights. Would have kept Dwyer also, not as impressed as everybody raves on but feel he earned the right to stay.
Would have let Corona go. Probably one of the bigger disappointments. Also don't think we needed to overload with Dempsey and Altidore. One of them would have been fine. Other players still need the experience and pressure of knockout stages.
Bob Ashpole replied, July 19, 2017 at 3 a.m.
I generally agree, but you are overlooking the fact that the younger players need playing experience with the regular starters--Bradley, Howard, Altidore, Dempsey, and Nagbe--who weren't with them the last few weeks.
