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.

Edited by TURRETS: 5/23/2014 4:00:45 AMGo sporting Donovan's sucked all the dicks lately if you've watched any football. People just don't pay any attention to the sport here so when one of the only names they know doesn't make the team they freak out. Klinnsman is the best coach the US has ever had in my opinion. He's moving US football in the right direction by arguing for an MLS schedule that matches Europe leagues, and pushing US players to compete at higher levels than te MLS can offer. And to see that people want him fired if we don't get out of a death group because of his exclusions is sad.
