The constant double-speak on Jozy drives me crazy. "He's a confidence striker!" "But he never gets any chances!" "He's not a target forward!" "But he's built like one!" "He scored bucketloads in the Eredivisie!" "But not in the Premier League!"
Look, I get Jozy Altidore isn't perfect, but Brian hits the nail on the head. He was perfectly good in his movement, causing Turkey's defenders to keep passing him off to the other guy and causing them to step up. Just look at the Johnson goal:
Come on now. Spike Albrecht's 17 points in the first half was not only the most out-of-nowhere, incredible performance in a big game - maybe in the history of sports - it more than adequately replaced the production that Burke would have contributed had he not gone into foul trouble.
