"It’s not just the LD cut. It’s the fact that the team did great during qualifying with guys that were huge like LD, EJ, Evans, Corona, and Goodson. These players put on a shirt and did all the dirty work to get to the spot we’re in right now. JK just threw away all the good work and chemistry to bring in players like Chandler (who never wanted to be a part of this team)/ Brooks, Green, and Yedlin (who really have no experience), Wondo (who can’t seem to score in games that actually count), and Davis (who has a lethal left foot but can’t do anything else). Where were these players during qualifying?? Between all of them there is only a couple of caps during these big games. Neither one of them stepped up to deserve such a spot. It seems like JK threw away his previous accomplishments and decided to start from scratch just weeks before the WC."
I really hope that Klinsmann proves us wrong.
Donovan's response:
"To my fans,
It has been an honor and privilege to have represented the US National Team in three World Cups. I was looking forward to playing in Brazil and, as you can imagine, I am very disappointed with today’s decision. Regardless, I will be cheering on my friends and teammates this summer, and I remain committed to helping grow soccer in the US in the years to come.
Thanks for all your support,
Landon"
No Donovan, thank you.
