Jozy Altidoreback!
On Friday, we told you that there was a chance—a seemingly small chance—that Altidore could potentially be available to play for the U.S. Men's National Team tomorrow afternoon when they take on Belgium in the knockout stage of the 2014 World Cup. But a short time ago, U.S. Soccer announced that Altidore will, in fact, be "ready and available" for the match:

Just how ready and available will he be? Well, that's yet to be determined. But at the very least, it'll force Belgium to plan and scheme for him. So this is great news for the USMNT.
