U.S. striker Jozy Altidore is participating in full training to prepare for the opening match against England on Saturday.  Altidore has been recovering from a sprained ankle he suffered last week.  Altidore was quoted: “It’s a little sore, but I had no issues participating in all the exercises today. I’m happy to be part of the group again.”

This is great news for U.S. soccer fans.  Since it is looking like Altidore will be ready for Saturday’s match, Bob Bradley will have a tough decision on who to start alongside Jozy.  Though he lacks experience at this level, Edson Buddle is the best option.  Buddle is on fire in the MLS and just recently scored his first 2 international goals in the last U.S. tuneup verse  Australia.
