On Sunday, when the USMNT takes on Serbia in its first game of 2017 (FULL PREVIEW), Jozy Altidore will become the latest member of the 100-caps club, provided he makes an appearance in Bruce Arena’s (re-)debut as USMNT head coach. As such, U.S. Soccer put Altidore to the test, to see if he could name the 16 Yanks who preceded him into the 100-club. It was…something of a struggle, but he got very, very close in the end.
