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

Doing that against Honduras' B squad and against Ghana, Portugal and Germany are two completely different things.

Plus, Donovan is in poor form and looks a lot less quick than he used to.

He's still on the 23, but I don't know if he starts a game unless his fitness is better than it was a month ago.

On a separate front from earlier in this thread - I think Jurgen gets too much flak for talking out of both sides of his head. Yes, form, PT etc - all of that matters a great deal.

But you also have to build a team with different options. Brek got called in because he was one of the only guys, if not the only guy, that filled that role. Now, Green or Davis will fill that same role.

So, when everything is even, those things can really come into play. But things aren't always even, and sometimes you still need to build a squad and fulfill each need while keeping those things in mind.
