What did i post that isnt true?
Does a manager tell a couple of players that showed up and worked hard when called up over a qualification cycle that they are out when the "best ever American" decides he is ready to come back from his far east meditation?
The only reason Landon wasn't on the 2014 squad were Landon's own choices. It is hilarious that folks think otherwise.
If he showed up when called by his country for qualification he would have been on the team. It's that simple.
US Soccer didn't just magically begin because of Landon
A lot of hard working soccer players that represented our country each and every time they were called built this thing.

But Landon was good enough to be called into the prelim roster having returned from the sabbatical over a year ago?
If he was such a detriment to the team, why call him up at all?
And again, did Jurgen call in the better soccer player?

If you think his not making the squad had to do with anything but Jurgen being an egotistical idiot, then I have some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you.
Landon was very honest about needing a mental health break. If he had said his hiatus was for any other health issue I'm sure there would be no problem. But sadly we have a bias against mental health disorders in this country. It was cool to see an athlete come out and be honest about their struggles. Too bad Jurgen had to be a douche about it.
In the end, the coach put himself and his ego ahead of what was best for the team. Donovan was the best US player 1 year before the tournament. At the time of the roster announcement he would have been our best option at forward, wing, and attacking midfield. If you can't see this and understand that Donovan 100% should have been on the roster I don't think there's anything else we can say to convince you otherwise.
