Altidore: Hull did not see best of me

Villarreal striker Jozy Altidore says Hull City fans never saw the best of him last season.

Altidore hopes they will on Saturday night, when the USA take on England in Rustenburg in their opening match of the World Cup.

"I was actually laughing when the draw was made, not because I was being disrespectful to England but just because we have so many players who have come over to England," he said.

"We have had four-five players who are the main focal point of the national team. It is great. It will give us a chance to test ourselves and really compete against one of the best teams in the world.

"At the same time the people in England are enjoying it as well. They think they have a team that they feel is very good this time around and they don't want to be disappointed."
