Jozy Altidore compares Pulisic's US National Team with his generation and the answer surprises

The American National Team is experiencing one of its best generations in all of history. The USMNT is seeing the fruits of an extremely long process, but one that, in the right way, gives the expected results and now, it is normal to see an American player in one of the main European clubs. However, a former UMSNT player surprises with his statements when comparing his generation with the current one.

In an interview with CBS Sports, former Team USA forward, Jozy Altidore, assured that although the team led today by Gregg Berhalter has greater individuality, the generation of which he was part of in the 2014 World Cup was a superior man. per man. Likewise, Altidore assured that if both teams met in a friendly duel with their best players today, the 2014 team would win.

“Better is a weird word, more complete? Our generation. In terms of position for position. However, better talent, I think this one, but not everywhere. Just in certain spots. If the two sides played each other at full strength, I think ours will win without a doubt,” said Jozy Altidore in a conversation with CBS during a program with Clint Dempsey. For the former United States striker, there is little doubt about which team is better, although he accepts that the current generation is extremely talented.

Who would win between the 2014 and 2022 generation?

The reality is that it is very difficult to put the best team on the table because both had important talents. However, in the current generation we see players with certainly longer processes, since youth, and not in the United States, but in European clubs. In addition, MLS soccer players now have a slightly higher competitive level than before, due to the imminent growth of the American league. Despite this, it is difficult to predict a match between players like Altidore, Donovan, Dempsey against Pulisic, McKennie, Gio Reyna and Weah.
