Jozy Altidore was on the receiving end of some biting and a little nipple twisting during Team USA’s 2-0 win over El Salvador in the Gold Cup quarterfinals Wednesday night, and he handled it about as well as he could have.
After having his nipple twisted earlier in the match, Altidore was bitten on the shoulder by El Salvador defender Henry Romero in the second half.

When asked about the unexpected abuse after the match, Altidore had a great response:

Romero’s little stunt immediately reminded fans of the infamous biting incident that took place during the 2014 World Cup. The U.S. got the last laugh, but Altidore probably could have done without the bite marks on his shoulder.
