There was a question as to Donavan's commitment to the team, and to the game itself, given he took time off. I would have left him on the team, but I'm not the coach.

As to Klinsmann leaving off Donavan "to insure Germany's advancing," not in this lifetime. The USA could have 11 Donavan's and that's not going to stop a powerhouse like Germany.
