Black History Month: Jozy puts America on his back

It’s February 3rd! Today we take you back to 2013, where the United States Men’s National Team is smack in the middle of 2014 World Cup qualifying and looking for a spark. Enter Jozy Altidore, then 23, to the rescue. After being roundly criticized by then-USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Altidore responded with one of the finest stretches of play in the history of U.S. Soccer.

First, Jozy opened his 2013 bank account with a goal against Germany in the U.S. Soccer Centennial match on June 2nd in Washington, DC.
