For many of us, Landon Donovan is US soccer. He's been the most visible US player, whether he was playing here or overseas.
We learned from news reports that Donovan won't be in the US team headed for Brazil:
"On Friday, Klinsmann explained his decision to leave out Donovan, 32, by essentially saying that he believed other players were a better fit.
He danced around providing details, but he acknowledged that dropping Donovan was a difficult choice."
Frankly, I don't know enough about soccer to judge Coach Klinsmann's decision. At the same time, you need speed to compete and younger legs may be the answer.
Thanks to Landon for the memoires. We wish him well.
