Jozy Altidore’s first half penalty to make it 3-0 against a CONCACAF minnow like St. Vincent & the Grenadines was nothing special. A simple penalty slotted to the right of the goal. However, it’s what the goal meant stats wise for why it’s a rather big deal.
It was his 35th goal for the United States men’s national team, breaking a tie with Eric Wynalda for 3rd on the all-time leading scorer’s chart for the Yanks.
Just Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey stand in Altidore’s way to become the USMNT’s top goal scorer ever. Will he get there?
