Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
18-year-old striker Jozy Altidore will be one of many young American hopefuls on display when the U.S. men's national team takes on Mexico tonight in Houston. (We mentioned that this no-so-friendly will be on ESPN2 at 9:00 PM ET, right? Okay, good.) As it turned out, however, the New York Red Bulls' starting forward and New York Times guest blogger was almost a starter somewhere else this month.According to the ever-connected Ives Galarcep, Altidore was all set to transfer to Reading last month, but the deal fell through at the last minute. The Royals had been scouting Altidore for the better part of two years and felt he was the answer to their offensive woes. The small Premier League club has scored only 3 goals in 7 matches since New Year's Day and now finds itself in 17th place, only one point out of the relegation zone.
Jozy probably would have started right away for Reading, which was one reason he considered the move. Would he have received a work permit, though? Brad Guzan's move to Aston Villa was scuttled when his application was rejected. Would Jozy have been approved based on his U-20 team play?
I suppose that's a moot point now, as he's expected to play a full season for the Red Bulls. These rumors will resurface in a year, though. This kid is too talented to stay in MLS forever.
