American Soccer Now contributing editor Brooke Tunstall isn't exactly thrilled with today's roster announcement for Landon Donovan's send-off match. He explains why below.

That is awesome, IF JK let's him even play...this guys comment sums it up for me:
Arrrrrrrrrgh. —sorry, just thinking back to the World Cup with out Donovan. LD has looked completely dominant in the latter part of his last season. But, hey, Brad Davis has … well … Wondo has … Nope. Should have been Donovan. Sorry to hijack the thread with old news. But it still kills me.
We’ll miss you, Landon. Thanks for helping us build American soccer.
Could not have said it better
.Who has the most at stake?
JOHN BROOKS: Without a doubt John Brooks needs to perform well in training ahead of the October 10 friendly. Ever since his heroic World Cup goal against Ghana, Brooks' career has been in a rut. On the occasions he has gotten the opportunity to play at Hertha, he has been average at best. Last week he was demoted to Hertha’s reserve team and it was the second time his club has publically called him out this year. (The first time involved an oversized tattoo that forced Brooks to miss a game.)While Brooks played well last month against the Czechs, he will arrive in camp with Klinsmann likely unhappy with his recent developments. If he continues to remain in the doghouse at Hertha and if he doesn’t perform well in the national team camp, he could struggle to earn callups in the future. It is going to be a big week from him to change the narrative
