Following the U-23 men’s team dropped to Honduras and failed to make up for its 2021 Olympics, Twellman criticized U.S. Soccer, labeling the situation”laughable.” He predicted the justifications surrounding the end result — players out of now and U-23 eligible players like Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie not being away together with the senior group –“explanations” and stated the current qualification record of this U-23s was”pathetic.”
“Until the scoreboard varies, the narrative continues: the United States guys can’t get it done when it counts,” Twellman said.
The men’s team is qualified for each of their previous five Olympic games.
USMNT striker Jozy Altidore, that has 115 caps for the USMNT but hasn’t appeared since July 2019, took offense with a fellow national team striker’s comments (Twellman played 30 times for the USMNT from 2002-08).
“Taylor twellman national team career was foolish,” Altidore tweeted. “Beasley ought to be that analyst or a Mia Hamm. Twellman need to be on extra time radio [broadcaster] Bobby warshaw. He’s a white boy with connects. Quit giving him a stage.”
Even the Toronto FC striker continued,”People like Twellman telling countless I’m this I’m that. Do not live up to this or that. I am a fanatic Taylor to youthful black kings that want to play soccer. You don’t define success for me. You were not half me. No more free takes.”
Twellman, who believed six national team goals to Altidore’s 42, did not appear to be going after Altidore straight — a fact pointed out with a fan in the replies — but that the Livingston, NJ native still seemed none too happy with all the ESPN analyst’s parting.
“That is ok. My issue is that. I am not Messi or the best to actually do it. For USA or anyone. I thrived at a game where it is hard for children that look like me to thrive in the US. We don’t market the positive side. Simply negative,” Altidore said.

Various other fans agreed that Altidore’s points were more confusing or ill-aimed, and Twellman tried to opt for the high road after hearing his USMNT career lambasted.
“No matter what we all do on the area, it is what we do off the area that is most significant because athletes,” Twellman said, prior to connecting to Altidore’s base which he stated is”changing lives”
“Your money can’t resolve this’big, strong, strong’ issue,” he said, invoking common coded language used to refer to black soccer players. “Acknowledge it and also function greater. I do not want nor need your charity”
