USMNT Training Camp: 30 to 23

Andrea Canales is about the only US sports writer with the guts to call out the BS on the Donovan decision. She says US media is not covering it to the extent the rest of the world is

some highlights

 

Forgive me for a cheap line...but I think the reason LD isn't going is because there isn't room on the plane for both him and JK's ego.

Honestly, the more I think about this, the more this is all about Klinsmann. He feels he needs to stamp his authority all over this team and program. He's forgotten it's more about the 11 guys on the pitch. Andrea Canales third tweet above really speaks to me. BB would have never pulled a stunt like this.

 

What's troubling isn't just Donovan's exclusion, it's even if Klinsmann blows it next month he still gets another WC go-round.

Which is the main reason we gnashed teeth over Bradley's rehiring....

 

I wouldn't say "worked up", I just think it is wrong and somehow think if I point it out to enough people it will make a difference :doh: But you know what is REALLY wrong? Just found out via Ives that Jonathan Klinsmann gets to play high school soccer and Development Academy soccer and U18 national team soccer. So the guy who made high school soccer impossible for thousands of elite players lets his son play for his high school. Way to set an example
