Actually find that hard to believe.

Well, he now will be getting capped, one would think. Those goals were quite tasty, too, so much so that Frito-Lay should ask him for the secret ingredients to his delightfully insouciant chips (yes, that's correct, two of his goals were chips, one of them a long-ranger). Then again, one would expect this level of technique from someone who spent formative years at La Masia.

Josh Sargent better watch out, as he no longer has a stranglehold on the starting striker spot.
