2008-12-04T02:01:40+00:00

American Josmer "Jozy" Altidore scored his first goal for Villareal. He went in as a substitute in the 90th minute, and made a goal a few seconds later. He already has four appearances for Villareal with a total of 1 goal as of this writing. See the video...

Jozy Starts Against Huelva

2008-11-30T21:33:00+00:00

American striker Jozy Altidore made a rare start for Villarreal against Huelva tonight in a 2-1 win to put the Yellow Submarine in second place behind Barcelona. Altidore caused trouble for the Huelva defense early, creating a chance of his own which was stopped by keeper Riesgo.

Ironically, Recreatico Huelva was the destination for a possible January loan for Altidore but such talk died down in mid October.

It was a landmark weekend for Americans in Europe. From Brad Friedel record-breaking performance to Jozy Altidore's impressive start for Villarreal, several Americans Abroad enjoyed success across Europe.

Weekend Stuff: The Important Stuff

2008-11-30T16:55:53+00:00

Wow. Jozy Altidore started today for Villarreal against Recreativo Huelva and that is the nail in the potential-loan coffin. Josmer is now unable to go on loan to another club this year and that means he will stick around with the Yellow Submarines for the rest of the season. Hopefully their striker injury woes can [.

Thanksgiving Week: Waiting For Happenings

It's been a slow holiday week, but in the spirit of posting SOMETHING, this is what's rumbling: Kenny Cooper: Increasing rumors about a connection with Eintracht Frankfurt have heated up the transfer talk for this FC Dallas striker. Pair that with the fact that Dallas doesn't seem to be willing to pay DP money for KCoop [.

Last Night's Party: U.S. in Cold-arado.

2008-11-20T16:16:00+00:00

Dos a Cero and for once it wasn't the Mexicans that we hung it on. I liked what I saw from the young folks and 80's Babies that got the run out v. Guatemala last night. I particularly liked they way Jozy, Kenny, Freddy, and Sacha work together in the attack; throw Landon in the central mid and you see what might soon be my preferred U.

The United States Defeat Guatemala

2008-11-20T06:23:00+00:00

USA Eliminates Guatemala from World Cup In a game Guatemala had to win in order to keep their 2010 World Cup hope alive, two second half goals insured a United States victory. Coach Bob Bradley played a bunch of young players in this game, and it certainly paid off. Freddy Adu dominated this game and scored a fantastic free kick in the 68th minute to seal the 2-0 win.

USA 2, Guatemala 0 That was ... fun, I guess. Would have been nice to see it end up in the 4-0 range, but why split hairs on a night Freddy Adu scored his first senior international goal. And what a nice goal it was. Hopefully that picture perfect free kick from the edge of the penalty area finds its way into ESPN rotation.

A Tear For Llorente Means A Break For Jozy

News out of Villarreal today is that Joseba Llorente has torn a muscle in his thigh. The injury came in last weekends 2-2 draw with Malaga and now the striker is facing a month on the sideline. While this may be bad news for Llorente and Villarreal, it could be nice for Altidore who suffers [...]

Happy Birthday Jozy!

2008-11-06T22:13:00+00:00

Villarreal's American attacker Jozy Altidore turned 19 today just a few days after becoming the first American to score a goal in the Spanish Primera. Chances are good that he'll suit up for this Sunday's match against 11th place Almeria and try to score his second.
As LFV (not to mention our readers in a recent poll) have mentioned previously, chances are strong that Altidore may be loaned out to another club in January (probably not Huelva).

Tonight's Champion's League Predictions

2008-11-05T13:59:00+00:00

My record on predictions last night only confirms that I'm not much of a prognosticator on Champion's League matches but here goes. You won't see American Jozy Altidore in action tonight because he was not listed on Villarreal's Champion's League roster of 25 turned in back in September. Given recent injury problems, coach Manuel Pelligrini probably wishes he had Altidore as an option tonight.

Jozy Still Thinks Villarreal Might Put Him on the Stroll

2008-11-04T17:36:00+00:00

Now that Jozy has scored in La Liga his stay there feels at least as good as the early days of Freddy's brief time at Benfica; it certainly feels much more promising than Eddie Johnson's stay at the Cardiff City branch of the Witness Relocation League. But The Boy King of New York & Jersey™ tells USA TODAY that he might end up moving quicker than Adu.

Jozy Nets First La Liga Goal

2008-11-04T02:42:55+00:00

On Sunday, Jozy Altidore subbed into the game into the 90th minute for Villarreal, and then promptly put the ball into the back of the net for his first goal on Spain's biggest stage. Villarreal had already put the game away against Athletic Bilboa, but it was nice to see Jozy get a goal, even if [.

Altidore Scores In Villarreal Romp Over Bilbao

2008-11-02T20:29:00+00:00

Young forward Jozy Altidore became the first American ever to score in the Spanish top flight yesterday, opening his scoring account last night in a 4-1 romp over cellar dweller Bilbao. His fellow New Jersey native Giuseppe Rosssi opened scoring for the Yellow Submarine in the 22nd minute before Bilbao managed to equalize five minutes later, a score which stood until the half.

Clint Dempsey: “I’m Back”

Clinton Dempsey scored the leveling goal today in a 1-1 draw with Portsmouth. He came on in the 77th minute and found the back of the net 9 minutes later off of a Nevland cross. Fuck Yea. It's about time Clint is seeing the fruit of his hardwork pay off, and you could definitely sense [...]

Somewhere out there Bob Bradley is smiling, thinking of all the US fans who clamored for Jozy and Freddy to be instant starters and he's saying, "I told you so." After all, Jozy and Freddy couldn't lead the US attack versus TnT, right? Us slobbering fans better just chill the eff out, right? Maybe, but [.
