altiGOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Our boy made history on Saturday, November 1, 2009 when he notched his first goal seconds after coming off the bench in the 90th minute. This marks the first goal by an capped US National Team player in La Liga play.
It was a siliky smooth finish too, after a great diagonal run into the box and a perfect pass from Santi Cazorla, Jozy slotted it into the bottom left corner.
I am not big on his celebration, but his 9 year old in a candy shop smile was worth at least this $10mn transfer fee.
Congratulations kid, and we hope to see a whole bunch more.

By the looks of it, Jozy isn’t happy with number 12 either.
On the even of the Olympic games, the US team finished the ING tournament with no goals, 2 ties and a 1-0 loss to Cameroon. The lack of goals may be disconcerting heading into the Olympic [...]
