re: Donovan Left off

So if we don't make it out of the group and Jurgen gets fired, is it safe to say he could have bought himself another cycle just by putting Landon on this squad?

Yes. THen you could say he was put in a position to fail, brought his best squad and showed no arrogance or vanity in selecting a roster, and the team didn't do well being in an extremely difficult group.

Now, you can't say that. If the team does poorly, Klinsmann should be fired for his immaturity, poor decision-making, weak leadership skills, and use of politics in selecting a roster.
