It's like clockwork.

Another big international soccer tournament is about to start, so of course Jozy Altidore has a hamstring. Hurt it missing a penalty kick this weekend.

Jozy is the Reggie Bush of the USMNT. Constantly injured, always a threat, rarely does anything of note.

Will be interesting to see if JK inserts Wood or Morris or if he falls back to mismanaging a roster and puts 67 year old Wondo in his place.

He's certainly snakebit, but

he's still only 26 years old, so he has a small window left. He my be the biggest what-if in USMNT history, if he never figures it out...

At some point, you have to wonder if it's snake bit or lack of conditioning. At 26 this year, you'd think normally a player could have 2 more World Cups in him. But he's got a lot of miles on him to just be 26. And has really never shown any consistent work ethic at all. I think it may be time to cut bait and give some younger guys a chance. And somehow, suddenly, we do have what looks to be a good crop of young players who are about ready to take that chance.
