Metr-Olympians!

By: Dave Martinez | March 21st, 2008

Causing fits the entire night for the Maple Leaf back line, pressuring early and often, and drawing four free kicks near the box, two that were scorched in by Freddy Adu.

All in a days work for our Olympian – Jozy Altidore.

The US beat Canada 3-0 yesterday with a little help from some Red Bulls, past and present.

Jozy was big all night, drawing attention and potential scoring opportunities, even getting robbed point blank by a lucky, diving Mountie – of – a – goalkeeper.

Marvell Wynne was MARVELLOUS (I know thats been overused, but so what!). I definitely missed the speedy son of a gun as he was breaking necks, creating chances, and causing fits for the right side of the Canadian squad.

Of course, Gaven and Freeman also did their parts to get us to this point in previous games.

But the night truly belonged to Jozy. Its a beautiful thing to watch him continue to grow into a football threat out there. And it will be even better next season when we are cheering him on from across the Lake we call the Atlantic.

Olympics, here we come!
