Over the past two years, Jozy has learned to use his strength and speed to great advantage. The 20 year old had a hat trick against Trinidad & Tobago in early qualifying play and scored the opening goal against Spain an the unforgettable Confederations Cup upset. He has 8 goals in 21 appearances for the USMNT and he is expected to start in the November 18th friendly against Denmark.

He left the Red Bulls on a record (for USMNT players) $10 million transfer to Villareal and is the first American to score in La Liga. He has been on loan to Hull City this season and will return to the English club in 2010 after what we hope to be a successful World Cup campaign.
