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.

So what? He was a much better option than Brad Davis or Wondo.
You being an Everton fan makes your post even worse. He was GREAT on his stint there.

In 2011 & 2012, sure he was lazy.
2013, no, he was in the best form of any USMNT player.

He must be presenting this MVP trophy to somebody else.
I love the narrative re-writing from the Jurgy sycophants.
He was the best American player in 2010, after a great spell at Everton. His form *did* dip a bit in the middle of 2011 - but Everton still wanted him back. He took three whole months (yeeeeaaaarrrzzzz) off from soccer (after playing basically non-stop from the start of the 2009 MLS season until the end of the 2012 season) and came back. He was the best American player (again) in 2013, and appeared to be the best American again immediately after the WC selection. But somehow (apparently), Jurgen picked the 4 days in the last 15 years that Landon wasn't among the best 23 American players to make his roster selection.
For me, it is so much less of a pro-Landon stance as it is an exposure of how full of shite Jurgen is. Look at every example of saying one thing and doing another. Read Tim Howard's book and read between the lines a bit about the group's reactions to Jurgen. (And hey, look - Timmy took a step back from the Nats, too.)
Interestingly enough, the Jurgen tenure has been covered with long stretches of shite play (as crazy4lsu pointed out). His seat was REALLY warm after we got skull-fricked by Belgium right before the Gold Cup. What helped Jurgen the most? Cruising through the Gold Cup and finishing strong in WC qualifying. The team really was clicking in the back half of 2013.
It must have been Nick Rimando's locker room presence that made all the difference in 2013, right?
