No one cares about friendlies except Jozy fans

But I'm not a Jozy or friendlies fan so that doesn't make sense

Have we all become so enraged with Jozy hatred that we can't appreciate a pretty goal? What has this forum come to

Edit: This is talking about the Michael Bradley goal I posted not anything Jozy has done. Jozy has never scored a pretty goal.

A striker scores one goal against a defence that isn't made of paper in most of his career and he's suddenly not bad?

Yeah this. Remember when they lost in the confeds to the USA? Spain sure do give some cares about the Confederations Cup!

They did actually. They all acted like a bunch of whiney babies after the match except for Torres.

The main thing I remembered about Jozy's goal vs Spain was how he shot it directly loving at the keeper

I somehow remembered Jozy scoring against England in the 2010 WC in South Africa but I looked up but it was Clit Dempsey, the biggest classmaster of them all.
Sorry England for doubting you.



But he scored against the failure fucks of Germany which are big tie bottlers and drug abusers so I guess it served them right.

He's a good lad who means well who has sadly come unstuck in a troubled Sunderland side sans Manager, he's working hard though and was it not for a horrible refereeing descision he would be a goal to the good already. I think the old adage "its a marathon, not a sprint" is the most important thing to remember, we are only 7 games into the season and Ive no doubt that he will come good. Sunderland have played 3 of the top four as well as Manchester United. Ive no doubt a new manager will get them ship shape and Jozy will start rattling them in for fun.

Pray tell you legitimate fans of football, what are "competitive" matches? World Cup and Euros? Barclays premier league, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A only? It would be nice for us "plastics" to know which is which so we can appropriately judge players based upon your standards.

If Jozy can score in the game, it's not competitive.

Yeah but Serie A can vary.

The only league Jozy has looked remotely competent in though, the Eredivisie, is not on the list.

"Hmm this striker is world class" - something never said (unless you're oliwan) about someone who has only done anything of note in the Dutch top flight.
