the fake reaction on twitter has been unreal

people who havent watched a game since algeria are livid. bringing up "leadership" factor, like grown men need another grown man to tell them that they need to win a world cup game. landon is old and not in good enough shape to warrant a spot. if klinsmann goes 0-3-0 he could easily get fired.

but im sure hes willing to risk that to stick it to donovan.

I love the reactions, actually, especially the "you've never watched a match in your life if you think WE are better off without Donovan" responses.

And Klinsmann ain't getting fired even if they get smoked.  They drew farging Portugal & Germany, for Christ's sake.  And don't sleep on Ghana either.   He knows what he has right now and the talent/experience level they have simply isn't good enough to get past the first round.   And even if they do somehow get into the 16's, the dream would die there at the hands of Klinsmann's countrymen.

Bottom lime is he's building for the future and the future is Green, Johannsen & Brooks, not farging Landon Donovan.

I read something that made is seem like, if he were coach, Donovan might not have included himself anyway.  It made it seem like the guy is wise enough to admit that he's probably not up to another World Cup.

He's always been classy and honest as hell.  He'll be a great color commentator when he hangs 'em up if he decides to go that way.

Should have been on the team bc they're not winning. Let him have a World Cup victory lap so to speak

And why was Klinsmann's kid tweeting out and laughing at Donovan not making it

[Diomedes]

Kids are jerks?

[PhillyPhreak54]

No doubt.

jesus christ soccer fans are the worst

american soccer fans know like 2 players and one of them is donovan...there is so much fake outrage its ridiculous. the world cup exists in america so people can be xenophobic and/or patriotic.

[ice grillin you]

flippin out over a bald skinny unathletic white dood soccer guy at its best

[MDS]

its why us soccer fans are losers....they welcome being in 17th place or whatever. it goes to the gross soccer culture where they love ties.

there is no point to doing this unless you try to win a world cup. thats what the program is trying to do now. it probably wont work, but they arent handing out spots to washed up former stars and that is at least a start toward legitimacy.

GUS!!

[Rome]

He's a farging embarrassment.  Stop lionizing him, you ignorant Americans.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No. Make me! Wanna fight, fellow American?

[Don Ho]

HA!  Junior and I just watched the game on dvr.  Gus no doubt had an accident in his pants.  He wears on me after awhile and his over the top schtick when Arkansas St. gets a key first down in the Orville Redenbacker Bowl is getting old but this one was legit.  I though he was having a seizure.
