"We are a blue-collar team..."

Jozy Altidore, on how the US National team plays -

“We are a blue-collar team and we always try to make things hard on our opponents,” Altidore told FIFA.com about the philosophy of the American side, whose semi-final win over Spain, who were top of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking at the time, at South Africa 2009 ranks as one of the biggest in international history.

“Teamwork is what makes us effective. Our primary aim is to outwork our opponents as a team and then it's down to our individual talents to take advantage of the situation. I always try to contribute to this approach.”
