1. He talks and talks about players having to earn their spots and do not have a birth right to be going to the World Cup. Yet he takes an unproven 18 y/o Julian Green who has never played a game of professional club football, and leaves out Donovan who is the face of US football.
2. Says that the reason DOnovan was not included was due to the fact he took a 6 month sabbatical from the team. Yet TImothy Chandler did the exact same thing, and his sabbatical was even longer, but he was still included.
3. Finally, Klismann said it was nothing personal against Donovan. Yet, as soon as news spread that DOnovan was cut, Klinsmann's son went to Twitter saying "HAHAHAHAHA DONOVAN SUCKER". Something tells me that Klinmann was lieing and that he and his family do not like Donovan. Very odd indeed
either way, the US will lose all 3 of their group games with their best ever player sitting on the couch. Who is to blame? Me? You? Rune? |

1. Obviously Donovan did not impress Klinsmann or earn his spot on the team. Donovan said himself he was not a lock to make the roster, and that he wasn't feeling excited about the World Cup and that he did not know if he could fully commit himself.
2. The reason Donovan was not included was not because he took a sabbatical. Don't spew out dumb facts like that. He never said anything close to that, and if it were true he would not have included him in the Gold Cup, qualifying, or the friendlies leading up the World Cup. Donovan did not take a sabbatical from the USMNT, he took a sabbatical from playing the game completely. Timothy Chandler went to camp, and worked to impress Klinsmann and he did.
Talk about a subject where you know what you're talking about

1. YOu stupid?? Donovan was devastated that he didnt get picked. You obvoiously didnt even bother to look at his interviews he made in the past week.
2. Yes it was. DOnovan worked his @$$ off during training. Just because he is older doesnt mean he still cant be an effective player off the bench. He was never going to be a starter, everyone knew that. But he is expereinced and would be useful to come off the bench. Klinsmann messed up, but you just cant admit it.
Ghana 3-1 L Germany 5-0 L Portugal 1-0 L (and im being generous cuz theyll prob be resting cr7) |

Good job on once again being an uninformed idiot who talks out of his ass
1. http://www.mlssoccer.com/worldcup/2014/news/article/2014/05/19/world-cup-landon-donovan-faces-down-rare-uncertainty-usmnt-camp
"I don’t have that youthful energy and excitement that I did in 2002"
2. Yeah cause you were personally at the USMNT's closed door 30-man camp right? |
