Lalas said after an interview with Klinnsman, that he's going to put him at RW. where he plays for hoffenheim.
That says more to me about why Donovan wasn't called in more than "form."
Much easier to plug someone else into Donovan's "spot" if he's not there.

He chose not to take part in camp, to stay fit and train with Hannover. I assume it was their request, and he obliged.

If JK snubbed Donovan so that he could play our best LB at Donovan's position and cement Beasley as our LB for WCQ, he can DIAF.
Not to mention that he could be using Beasley as a LW.
Instead we get Brad Davis and Sacha in the midfield.

For some reason, Timmay called out Klestjan as the guy who impressed him the most against Belgium. I thought he looked pretty meh.

Sacha was not good. I'm not saying he played horribly, I just think he showed again that he's never going to be at the level of our best midfielders.

I thought Klesjstan was one of our top 3 players. He struggled the first 20 minutes, but really settled down after that.
I openly complimented him at least 4 times in the second half.

Kljestan also disagreed with other US players and thought that we sucked in the attacking third and we needed to put more pressure. An example he gave was when EJ came onto the pitch and made good runs. He said we need more of that.
Whereas, JK wants to build out of the back and the other US players said that is what failed them.
I do agree with JK, in the sense that our first touch and first passes let us down. None of our midfielders will first time pass a ball. NEVER happens. Instead they take an extra step, let the gap close and then stuck with defenders around them and no outlet because they stare down players. That happened a lot in the friendly.
