It’s rare that a player gets a red card yet the team gets to keep 11 men on the field.
Not content to be universally considered a flop, Jozy Altidore is going about redefining himself as a douchebag after being shown a straight red while sat on the bench.

The Toronto FC striker, who you’ll remember from doing absolutely nothing at Sunderland, was told that he wouldn’t be able to play any part in Wednesday night’s home tie with New York Red Bulls after he used “foul and abusive language” towards the linesman.
This isn’t the first time that Altidore has been handed his marching orders for swearing at an official as he was sent off for the same offence while on international duty earlier this year.
Call us crazy but we think it might just be about time for Jozy to shut up.
