So if you read that, you most likely noticed a glaring name from it.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landon_Donovan]Landon Donovan[/url]. The all time leading goal scorer and assist for the US's national team. There were also several more shock inclusions and exclusions.
This has basically sealed Coach Jurgen's fate. If we don't make it out of the group stage, he is done. If you would also like to read some funny comments; read the comment section in the article about the roster. People are going crazy.
"No Landon Donovan" is trending worldwide right now on twitter.

With Landon Donovan missing, I'm officially going to say we won't make it out of the Group Stage.
