He is still trash, and so is most of the team. Nowhere in the world is a player considered good if he scores 2 goals in a 2 year span.
Being on a run of bad form would imply that the team is usually good (which it isn't). Sorry if I don't celebrate a 0-0 friendly against Mexico and a 4-3 friendly against Germany's C squad, in which one of the goals was a gift and in which the team almost collapsed after being up 4-1.
rck is spot on, if the US consistently pulled out these types of results, no one would be calling the team trash. That's a pretty obvious statement. Even then, the US only gets the few positive results based on pure luck and bad refereeing. It's silly to get excited, especially when you know that if they play like this when it matters, they will get destroyed
Man some of you need a dose of reality. If we consistently got these type of results no one would be calling the team trash? If we were consistently getting these type of results we'd be a top 15-20 footballing nation in the world (and I don't mean FIFA rankings). We're not, get over it.
Maybe some of you guys just like ******** on your "team?" Maybe it's a undeserved pride thing, the average American sports fan can't cope with not being elite? I honestly don't know.
It's funny you mention excitement, I look back on what I've seen with my own eyes in terms of the growth of the USMNT program over the course of the last twenty years and I literally get butterflies in my stomach thinking about what the long term future has in store, maybe the pessimist just don't see the bigger picture?
And a run of bad form doesn't imply that the team is usually good, that's your on inference, and I didn't say anybody should be celebrating anything.
As for Jozy, nowhere in the world is a player considered trash after scoring +30 goals in a season, nowhere in the world is the quality of a player determined by a two year stretch with his country. No one can argue that Jozy doesn't have areas to improve on (although anybody who's followed his career closely can see the vast improvements he's made in those areas), can't deny that he's been ineffective for country over the last 18 months, but I seriously have to question the knowledge and understanding of the game of anyone who actually thinks he's "trash" relative to any meaningful measure. Even if Jozy were "trash" he'd still be the best out and out forward this country has ever produced (Sorry Brian).
Dudes saying he's actually gotten adequate service, dudes saying he can't perform under pressure (as if they completely forgot his performances at the '10 WC or '09 Confederations Cup).
Abby too
