No, they aren't 32 or 33 whichever it is.

I am Donovan's biggest fan, I think he is by far out best ever player, but I watched his last few LA Galaxy games and he has been shyt.

At 32 you can't afford to get out of shape.

At 26 or 28 you can go to the month long camp in January and stay in shape.Besides, I doubt anyone ovrrseas wanted Besler or Zussi in a starting role.

Donovan's passing is world class, but ypu have to be able to out pace others for the passing to come into affect.

I think this quote from Howard yesterday means a lot.

quote:

“For me it’s very easy, if Landon is on the field, he’s [one of] our top one or two players,” he said prior to Monday’s training session. “That’s just my opinion. Whether it means anything or not, I don’t know. Landon is humble. But for me, he’s easily one of our best players and he strikes fear into opponents.


I also remember Baby Bradley saying something similar when Landy rejoined the A-Team for the Costa Rica qualifier.

I have a feeling that if Jurgen leaves him off, some high ranking players won't be too happy. I'm not saying they will revolt or anything like that, but we all know a good WC squad is about chemistry as much as talent and if a player that a lot of other players respect is left off, the chemistry may take a hit.

I don't think that I'd put too much stock in a handful of games where he was already openly talking about the World Cup. He hasn't played poorly for the entire season.
