Soccer Goals: In the past four days since returning from a two-week leave of absence to deal with the Haitian earthquake and disaster, the Hatian sensation, Jozy Altidore, seems to have embraced his recent minutes on the pitch. On Saturday facing Wolverhampton, the Tigers forward assisted on a goal and drew a penalty to secure a 2-2 draw.

Facing super club, Chelsea, Altidore wreaked havoc earning several dangous kick opportunities in 86 minutes of play in a 1-1 draw. The strong striker unbalanced the back line with quick feet and crafty one-v-one moves and even caused headaches for English internationals John Terry and Frank Lampard. Though his touch failed him on several occassions against the Blues, it has become evident that Altidore's game has gained inspiration, as he has demonstrated a stronger work ethic and better tactical sense.

 

If or when the former Red Bull scores his first EPL goal, will Jozy Altidore gain confidence to attack opponents more willingly, despite the marginal service he has received up to this point? Continued playing time is the most imporant facet to developing his game, but scoring goals would create confidence and earn playing time, a heightened confidence that could better showcase his talents at the World Cup.
