The United States were already on the verge of winning their crucial World Cup qualifier against Guatemala, up 3-0 in the 89th minute. Apparently Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore didn't think that winning margin was big enough, because they just had to go and do this:
Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore clown Guatemala to score fourth USA goal
This is almost rude.

That’s just mean. That’s alley-oop-off-the-backboard-when-up-20 stuff. That’s a huge batflip off a solo homer late in a game that’s already won. That’s showboating into the endzone at the end of an 80-yard touchdown.
If only we saw more of it from the USMNT. This team needs to be cruel like that more often.
