I'm sorry but all of you guys are complete and total idiots, the ones bashing Ching and the rest of the national team that is.
Ching was never given a proper stiker partner so how the hell do you expect him to score? He works his butt off and takes all the lumps from the opponents defense, so he doesn't have time to score, but he still creates chances for others, like the one he made for Dempsey in the Cuba game. Notice how as soon as Jozy and Ching are paired, the USA starts scoring, and Ching is involved in Altidore's first goal against El Salvador( laying the ball off to Hejduk on the wing, who crossed to Altidore) and his first goal against Trinidad and Tobago( flicking the ball on to Donovan, who played the ball across to Altidore). Donovan and Dempsey don't count as strike partners because they each drop into the midfield when they're played up top, leaving Brian Ching alone up top to do the dirty work of dealing with the physicality of the defense. With Ching doing the dirty work, and Donovan commanding the midfield, who is going to score the goals? The USA put off this question until Altidore really started blooming and the competition got better. Pairing them together worked until Ching's injury, which meant Altidore was either paired with someone else, or alone up top. Ching is a great player in my opinion. I say, F this site.
