Is there a legitimate chance that Jurgen leaves Donovan off the final 23?

Discuss.

I don't think there is a real chance that Landon doesn't make the trip to Brazil. Although Jurgen's attitude towards LD lately has been a bit unsettling.

Not a chance. This is cakes last WC and he's putting it all in. Landy comes.

Motivation and I don't necessarily mean for LD. If Jurgen can make everyone else believe that his spot isn't safe then they all believe that nobody's spot is safe.

Yes. Have you watched Landon lately?

I wouldn't be surprised, honestly. Landon was hot garbage at the beginning of the MLS season, and didn't look great against Mexico.

Also, Jurgen is intent on making sure that everyone understands he is the real star of the US Soccer program, and has demeaned all of the American-American "stars" (Dempsey, Bradley, Altidore, Donovan, Bocanegra) at one point in his tenure, with the exception of Howard.

If he does leave off one of the big names, he better be damned sure we advance out of the group - if not, the firestorm he saw before the Honduras game won't be shite.

No, but I can see him riding the pine and being a 60th minute sub, J.K. warned him about sitting out until MLS started.

No one needs to tell me that Bruce Areana wouldn't allow Donavon to join a European country, that's total BS, Donavon told B.A. to say that. Now he is out of shape and playing like shyt.

Not putting Landon in the 11 is a fireable offense IMO.

He'll make the 23, but he's borderline being in the starting XI.

Jurgen is trying to get every last bit out of Landon for this tournament. He's making him work and I think Landon realizes that. I fully expect Jurgen to say that Landon has looked great in training and is looking like the player we have come to know.

Needless to say I'm being optimistic but I'm also using history as the best indicator as to what we can expect. History has suggested that Landon shows out for the World Cup so I fully expect him to do whatever it takes to live up to that expectation.

Cakes will be on the final 23. This is a motivation play by Jurgy.

I will find a way to slap Jurgen's face if he does.

I bought a Donovan jersey for this world cup. If he is left off I quit.
