    There's been plenty of discussion about who's going to Brazil, who will be snubbed, etc. Let's see which player everyone does not want to see go to the World Cup.

    For me, it's Eddie Johnson. I know he has his strengths, but his lack of technical skill and lack of (or at least reluctance to use) intelligent play makes him a liability on a World Cup squad. His terrible form to begin MLS is also an issue. The last thing I want to see this summer is Klinsmann sending Johnson out to play the wing in place of someone like Donovan (which he has done before) and wasting, at minimum, an entire half a game of attacking play from his side.

    Leave him at home.

    Oh, you meant guys with a chance. I predict lots of people will say Evans, but I'm going to go with Brooks. He has tons of potential for the future, but has been subbed off multiple times this year for performance reasons - never something you want to see from a center back.

    Too many to choose from. Probably Boyd. But Castillo, Agudelo, Sacha, Orozco, Shea, Edu & Green deserve a mention.

    Although there are plenty of players I don't want to make the 23, there is only one player that I am actively rooting for to miss the World Cup. And to be honest, he's the only American player that deserves that type of treatment.

    Only counting players currently eligible for the US.

    Hint: The player I'm talking about is scared of flying over to play actual matches for the US. I will welcome him back into the team in August, but not before then.

    Chalk another one up for Brad Evans. Decent MLS player. Has absolutely no business being on the same field as Marco Reus or Cristiano Ronaldo.

    It's his give-aways in our third of the field and the following attitude of,"Oh well, I lost the ball. Let someone else clean it up." That kills me!!!.

    You are right. Leave him

    Shea.

    Out of the regulars though, J. Jones always makes me nervous. Wouldn't be sad if he was eaten by the bench monster.
