Henry Romero Appears to Bite Jozy Altidore During 2017 Gold Cup

El Salvador's Henry Romero appeared to bite the United States' Jozy Altidore during Wednesday's Gold Cup quarterfinals match.

The podcast Caught Offside noted a "long suspension should be coming his way" when discussing Romero's decision to apparently bite the American forward. CJ Fogler shared video of the incident:

Altidore and the Americans are attempting to win their sixth CONCACAF Gold Cup title and faced Romero and El Salvador at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia Wednesday. The strange defensive tactic from Romero turned heads, but his side couldn't stop the United States from seizing control of the contest in the closing stretch of the first half and ultimately winning 2-0.

Omar Gonzalez opened the scoring with a header in the 41st minute off an assist from Michael Bradley. From there, Eric Lichaj made it 2-0 with a left-footed shot on an assist from veteran Clint Dempsey in stoppage time in the first half.

It was more of the same for the United States against El Salvador, as Sports Illustrated noted the Red, White and Blue have never dropped a game against Romero's team in America and sported a 16-1-5 overall record in the series coming into Wednesday's contest.

Next up for Altidore and the United States is a Saturday showdown against Costa Rica in the semifinals.
