23 Tickets to Brazil

Yeah that's totally dickish. I wonder what the hate is about. Must be personal because I don't see how a US fan could be so happy about it. Uncaring sure, but he seems excited.

 

I am furious that Landon is out and Davis is in. But at the same time, I would take Nguyen or Feilhaber in a heartbeat over either ot them.

The only real bright spot to the roster: No Brad Evans.

But remember guys--We did just fine without Donovan in 2013. Besides, could Donovan, in his current moribund form, actually help us this summer?

 

yedlin is good but he just needs to learn to stay back more often

 

But on the bright side...NO EVANS!!!!

 

This is why you don't sign an extension before a WC. He is playing for 2018 already.

 

Ok guys, trans-posting from another thread:

Who was the second-biggest cut? Parkhurst, Goodson, or Boyd (which means that we are definitely doubling down on Altidore without a direct replacement)?

 

i cant think of any reason donavon would be left off the roster other than personal beef.

 

I'm really surprised he cut Edu, Parkhurst AND Goodson.

So at CB we've got Besler, RB-playing Cameron, hobbling Omar, and inexperienced Brooks.

That thinness at CB in case of cards/injuries, FAR more than cutting Donovan, is what's going to bite us in the ass.

 

That's 4 centerbacks. We will be fine....

 

10 MLS'ers, 13 Yanks Abroad

 

It seems like the Klinsmanns have some sort of personal grudge against Donovan.

I'd also say that there's a chance that this might disrupt the locker room. There were quotes by Howard, Bradley, and I believe Dempsey stating things like Donovan is crucial to the team, he's the best U.S. player in the history of the game, etc. in the past few months.

 

Have to wonder if klinsmann is making it easier for Germany

Peoplenin Portugal very hapy donovan if not in the squad

 

FYP

lol, sorry, couldn't resist

 

Klinsman is definitely a German Agent inserted into the USMNT.

 

Goodson's exclusion, combined with Chandler and Yedlin making it, is a clear sign that Cameron is going to be a CB at this World Cup.

With Cameron at the CB, that means that Goodson likely only would have come as the 4th CB. And 4th CBs rarely play. So I don't mind that we took Brooks as the 4th CB.

 

Couldn't the Goodson cut been made when it was seen that Omar was healthy.

 

wow.

 

Apperently deleted his twitter

 

All of the cuts i'm ok with, but LD? Davis instead? Really?

 

Posted this in another thread, but here goes...

This is the most Jurgen thing ever. The guy is ultimately a type A personality. "My team. My way. I'm the boss."

You have to bring Landon. Even if only as a late game sub.

On a sentimental level, I'm really happy for Wondo and Beckerman though. Nice reward after long careers in the wilderness.

Davis for LD is a joke. You could see some warning signs though. Watching the first episode of "Inside the road to Brazil" or whatever it's called on ESPN, I almost got the sense that Jurgen was tickled pink by the idea of dropping LD.

 

Congrats to Beckerman making a WC at this late stage is his career.

Thought I'd try to find something positive to say when I still feel as crappy as the day of the WC Draw...

 

If they go with that line up portugal ghana and germany are licking their chops

Crap, I didn't even realize Edu and Parkhurst weren't there.

I guess Cameron is backing up CB and CDM.
