The striker claimed in a recent interview that the national team he played in would beat the current side - but is that really true?Altidore compered the U.S. men's national team of yesteryear to the current golden generation. He said, in his opinion, the USMNT of 2014 could, and would, beat the current team.
“Better is a weird word”, he said. "More complete? I would say our generation in terms of position for position. Better talent-wise, individually, I would say this one now, but not everywhere, in certain spots... If the two sides played each other at full strength, I think ours would win.”That statement, of course, split social media into two camps. The first, of course, was the one that was totally flabbergasted by the idea that the old team could top the modern group.
So this all brings up a fun debate and discussion, one which could also be held about the 2002 side and the 2009 group that blasted Spain at the Confederations Cup. But, when comparing 2023 to 2014, who would have the upper hand?Reyna makes most of DFB-Pokal chance in Dortmund win
