Jozy Altidore has been tearing it up in the Eredivisie.
The USA international has now scored 30 goals in all competitions this season for AZ Alkmaar. His performance on Friday, scoring two goals and notching an assist, helped AZ defeat Heerenveen 4-0.
It also moved his club closer to survival, as they could clinch safety if Roda can’t win their match tomorrow.
It’s been a long and tiring road of recovery for Stuart Holden.
Ever since Jonny Evans’ studs destroyed his knee in March 2011, Holden has been battling to get to full strength and fitness. He faced several setbacks with his knee in his rehabilitation process, but has finally made it back onto the pitch. FOX Soccer spoke with Holden, his brother Euan and girlfriend Karalyn about his recovery process, and now his return to playing.
He hopes to help Bolton get back to Premier League, and contribute to the U.S. men’s national team in the near future — he has his sights set on the World Cup in Brazil.

Roma and USMNT midfielder Michael Bradley starred in a new Volkswagen commercial in Italy together with club legend Francesco Totti!
In the ad, Bradley tries to correct Totti on some English pronunciation. It’s quite funny at the end, and Bradley’s quite good, too!
Croatia took the leap into the top 5 following a pair of World Cup qualifying victories and the U.S. jumped up 5 spots to #28. Wales rose the most in the Top 50 and Brazil have fallen to their lowest ever position in the rankings.

He’s back!
A very large contingent of USA fans made the trip to the famed Estadio Azteca on Tuesday night to watch their country take on Mexico. The U.S. came away with an historic point, only their second in history against El Tri at Azteca in qualifying. A truly impressive feat.
There were many incredible images from the action on the pitch, but just as many taken of the brave supporters in the stands. Photojournalist Douglas Zimmerman captured every single moment from these (slightly crazy) fans on their journey in Mexico City. You definitely want to check these images out — very incredible shots.
After the final whistle in Tuesday night’s scoreless draw between Mexico and the United States at Azteca, USA fans were overjoyed with their team’s second-ever tie in a qualifier against El Tri at the famed stadium.
It was a tie, but it certainly felt like a win for the USA, who has only won once at Azteca against Mexico, and that was in a friendly, not a qualifier.
As they celebrated wildly, debris, beer and other unidentified liquids rained down on them. Luckily for the U.S. fans, they were surrounded by a small army of riot police — it would’ve gotten much uglier had the protection not been there.
Emotional night
Penalty?
