They say he's cleared to play. I'll be surprised if he starts though. But hamstrings, they are pretty much one jab step away from getting reinjured. May as well get what you can out of him.

U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said on Monday that forward Jozy Altidore had been with the team "two, three days" but added that it's difficult to say how many minutes are in him.
"We don't know how much [he can play] ... but he's available," Klinsmann said during a news conference in Salvador. "It's now difficult to say how many minutes."

Yet there is also the possibility that this is just a ploy by Klinsmann to hide his true intentions. The word "available" could mean starting Altidore with the idea of playing him a predetermined number of minutes, using him as a substitute, or having him on the bench with no intention of playing him at all.

It's called "gamesmanship".

However, 43% is a lot higher than I thought it would be.

So incredibly pumped for the game today. We've seen a lot of crazy things so far at this Cup. Would it not be par for the course to have the US win and put themselves in the quarter's? A win, over world-class Belgium footballers, would be massive for the country and for the psyche of this team going forward.
