I don't hate him. I'm not saying he has done everything wrong. He's been middling, which is what Arena and Bradley were honestly. I was sold on the hire that we would progress tactically and technically, and it doesn't seem like we've done that. He has brought more German-Americans in the mix, as well as Mexican-Americans, and I'm all for increasing the size of our player pool.

If Wondo makes that shot at the end of the Belgium game, this discussion would be characterized differently. I still think that was a moment made for a player of Donovan's ability. And maybe something went wrong in the LD-JK dynamic when they were at Bayern. Maybe LD saw his limitations as a coach first hand, and was less than enthralled with the hire. Regardless, from every angle that I look at it, LD should have been our no. 10 in Brazil.

Landy was lazy as frick the two years leading up to the WC. Do you think he earned his spot? The problem with Landy is that he only performs when he has a chip on his shoulder and promptly proved that in the first game after he was left out.

For what it's worth though,I really wouldn't have had an issue if he were included in the squad because he was obviously still good enough, but it's really not that hard to see why Jurgy made the decision.
