Jozy and Johnson move USA closer to Brazil

[USA-HONDURAS] Jozy Altidore has paved a smooth path to Brazil for the USA. The red-hot striker scored with a low, left-footed shot for a 1-0 win
over Honduras on Tuesday that gives the USA 13 points after six Hexagonal games, leaving little doubt the USA will reach its seventh straight World Cup. Altidore's strike was set up by
Fabian Johnson, who's looking like the U.S. team's most valuable German import.

"It's easy to enjoy your vacation and enjoy some cold beers and swimming pools on a high. We're in the driver's seat now. It's been a very good summer."
-- U.S. goalie Tim Howard, who like most of the other European-based players on the national team, will head off on vacation following the USA's 1-0 win over Honduras that gave it
nine points out of a possible nine from the three June World Cup qualifiers. (New York Times)
