JOZY WHO?:

Buddle’s 2 goals lead US over Australia 3-1 (RONALD BLUM, 06/05/10, AP)

Edson Buddle scored his first two international goals and Herculez Gomez added a third, leading the United States over Australia 3-1 Saturday in the Americans’ last warmup for their World Cup opener against England. [...]

Gomez, like Buddle a surprise pick for the World Cup roster, entered in the 82nd minute and scored from 8 yards in injury time off a pass from Landon Donovan. It was the second international goal for Gomez, who also scored against the Czech Republic last week.

It would be criminal not to start two guys scoring at their paces and one has to wonder why Jay DeMerit, who clearly can't be allowed to play in his current form, was left in for 90 minutes instead of giving other guys a look.
