during one of the soccer games this morning (i forget which one i was flipping back and forth) they said that Jozy did not practice today due to an illness. however, they said he is a go for tomorrow.
Re: Altidore is ill jozy is just resting up... plus there's a history of guys coming off their sick beds to have a big day... sounds like jozy is gonna be the hero tomorrow
Re: Altidore is ill Michael Jordan anyone? Although that illness was basically just hype to make for a good storyline.
Re: Altidore is ill The broadcast I saw said he _did_ practice today, despite being ill. If he is unwell, I think we start Gomez/Buddle up top
Re: Altidore is ill My personal sick athlete moment remains Pete Sampas puking his guts out under the lights at the US Open.
Re: Altidore is ill My bad. I was just immediately concerned it was a story at all. BTW - moving Dempsey up top next to Buddle and starting Feilhaber or Holden at midfield is also a viable option. It doesn't have to be Gomez/Buddle up top
Re: Altidore is ill it says he missed the first part with a stomach ailment, but rejoined the training session later on. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/altidore-misses-us-training-tuesday
Re: Altidore is ill Wonder if this has anything to do with the players being fed crocodile, ibex, kudu, etc., which is what I read on the ussoccer.com blog. Kind of hard to believe nobody kiboshed that idea.

Re: Altidore is ill jozy is a gamer - he will make an effort to get on the pitch, even if he has to weak diapers.
Re: Altidore is ill Not that I wish Jozy to be ill. But I think a Gomez/Buddle duo would do us just fine. I like Jozy, however, he hasn't really been putting the ball in the net for awhile. The two above have. I think that we need some goals tomorrow. So lets go with the two that have been most in form.
Re: Altidore is ill <===== Talk to this guy in my avatar. He seems to have a knack for that kind of stuff.
Re: Altidore is ill I think they shishkiboshed it! thankyouverymuchI'mhereforthewholeworldcuptipyourserver
People forget that Jozy set up Bradley's goal. Granted, he was primarily trying to get it to Herc, but then again he's also just trying to get a bouncing ball into an attacking area. And, more to the point, he won the header off of Donovan's (perfect) long ball. I don't see Buddle or Herc doing so, because I see them trying to settle that ball and, likely, producing nothing. That is admitted speculation. Nonetheless, I think Jozy's role in literally saving US soccer last Friday isn't getting enough attention.
I hope they swab off that vuvuzela they've been passing around on Studio 90 with some alcohol or something.
