Mike Magee Turns His Twitter Account into Jozy Altidore's for April Fools' Day

Sean SwabyApr 1, 2015

As far as April Fools' pranks go, Mike Magee's took a bit of effort in order to pull off the perfect Jozy Altidore-related joke. 

The Chicago Fire man became Altidore...on Twitter. 

He dressed up his also-verified account to almost perfectly mirror Altidore's with a few obvious differences: their handles, follower counts and timelines. Otherwise, Magee stole Altidore's bio, profile picture, timeline photo, location and his name.

That was the first step. 

Step 2 was a perfectly timed tweet. 

Magee perfectly made light of the red card Altidore received the day prior in Switzerland, posting a viral photo of Altidore getting a middle-fingered salute. Then "Altidore" explained his antics for his sending off (below).  

Well played, Magee. Altidore (well, the real one) has yet to acknowledge his newfound Twitter doppelganger.
