The USA facebook page is in full meltdown mode: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...1823940&type=1

Announced probably 15-30 minutes ago on that page. Can anyone verify this?

Kilnsmann didn't want him on the team

Landon Donovan has scored 5 goals in the World Cup - more than Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo & Robin van Persie have COMBINED.

klinsmann clearly playing for 2018 which im fine with by the way. nice to see the young faces green yedlin johannson and brooks

[Vaughany]

Who needs Landon when youve got Julian Green

This is the only way to look at it.

[Dirty Sanchez]

No secret that Landon and Juergen pretty much hated one another...so not sure why it comes as a surprise

[TonyTall]

why carry 3 goalies?

[thetrinity]

exactly him and klinsmann didnt get along, he definitely isnt going to be around in 2018 for sure, klinsmann knows he will be in russia as usa boss in 2018 so let the young guys experience it.

Time waits for no one.

From earlier today before the team was announced:

Someone should beat your ass with an American Flag you fukkin trader

[thetrinity]

kinda the way we feel about you

[THam12]

damnit

[pavyracer]

You carry 3 goalies because when you get one suspended with red card or get hurt the next game you can have a backup.

While you probably aren't technically wrong. There has to be gaining value in the USA side here, as "we suck" is the prevailing public perception and gaining.

Racist klinesman. Heard guy put like 5 Germans on team. This is USA team, not German team

Fukkin' Kraut's, man. This is payback for WW2.

They infiltrated a sport American's can't give a shit about, and are trying to "ruin" it for us.

They are good players.

red card that is right. does happen when goalies take down messis who just dribbled past them

fck that…so is donovan. He is the symbol of the american national team. He has the experience and is proven. If he wants to play put him the fck on the roster.

[Big Bear]

some of those guys dont look American.

USA soccer is a joke anyway. That Dave Mathews look alike wouldnt make a difference anyway.

Hopefully no one here bet on Donovan to win the Golden Boot. All those bets are Action with no refunds.

bro, we ain't winnin' shit with or without donovan. but this is disgraceful we let a foreigner penetrate it up like this

[Christopher1991]

Don't worry guys,Altidore is going to wreak havoc.

is this a joke? if someone was that dumb they deserve to lose their whole roll

[thetrinity]

its no secret that klinsmann hates mls. he has i think 10 guys on this roster, only because he doesnt have much choice. if nothing changes in 4 years, then expect fewer in 2018.

[BennyBigNuts]

Who gives a shit?

Fairy sport that Americans proudly suck at for a reason.
Because there are a shitload of other MEN'S sports to play here.
SOCCER is for women and everyone not in the USA.

End of Thread.

[ChalkyDog]

With Donovan's omission, only two players to make the final cut have scored goals at a World Cup (Clint Dempsey 2, Michael Bradley 1).

[easyliving]

guy has been overrated his whole career. Average player who couldn't succeed in Europe. Nothing but hype.

[Darkside Magick]

So basically they conceding this year?
