#4 Jozy Altidore
Jozy Altidore has established himself as the premier striker in the US team, having scored 21 international goals in 67 appearences. His best year was 2013, when he scored 8 goals in 14 appearences helping USA qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals. He is one of those players in the team who has played in different countries like Spain, Netherlands and England.
Some of his career highlights include scoring a hat-trick against Trinidad and Tobago in 2009, making him the youngest American to score a hat-trick in an international game. His most famous goal came against Spain in the semi-final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup which helped USA win 2-0. He also holds the national record for scoring in 5 consecutive games which he accomplished in 2013.
His performance for Sunderland may have been subdued, but what’s important is his form when playing for the USA has been good overall. The major worry for the US team at the moment is Altidore’s consistency as he has struggled to find the back of the net this year having scored a solitary goal.
Klinsmann has bet on Jozy Altidore to lead the strike force in the FIFA World Cup overlooking USA’s all time top goal scorer Landon Donovan.
