What with shockwaves, death threats and sessions with the Shrink hitting the
headlines, World Cup fever has certainly elevated itself these past few days.
Freddie Freeman Canada Jersey . The shockwave
of all shockwaves was delivered yesterday afternoon from the tranquil
surrounding of Stamford University when Landon Donovan, a player with over 150
international caps and three previous World Cup Finals to his name, was left off
the 23-man US squad. No word on hearing the news if Donovan trashed his room as
Paul Gascoigne did on learning he had not made the final cut for France 1998,
but his exclusion has led to the opinion makers and insiders of US soccer trash
Klinsmanns decision. Dumbfounded likely best describes the mood of the nation
right now. This for a player who sent the US into delirium when he scored the
very late winner against Algeria in the final group game at South Africa 2010,
as the US topped their group ahead of England. Jürgen Klinsmann described the
decision as the most difficult he has had to make as a coach. The US head coach,
who faced the media glare at a press conference earlier today, stated Donovan
would be the first player he would recall if an injury rules out one of his
strikers between now, and the deadline for naming squads June 2nd. However if
any player suffers a serious injury, which is confirmed by FIFAs medical
department, between then and their nations first group game they can be
replaced. The US kick-off their campaign against Ghana June 16th. Donovan has
told Klinsmann he is willing to remain on the standby list. Now back with his
club, the player who more than anyone else has moved the soccer conscience of a
Nation, is likely to feature in the Galaxys home date with the Philadelphia
Union Sunday night. Just as Donovan was going through his paces in training on
what turned out to be his penultimate day in camp Wednesday, Luis Suárez was in
a Montevideo operating theatre following an MRI which had revealed meniscus
damage to his left knee. Suárez had to withdraw from training earlier in the day
after complaining of pain. In a statement released yesterday by the Uruguayan
Football Association which announced the surgery was successful, it pinpointed
an incident which occurred late on in Liverpools final game of the season. A
reckless challenge from Newcastles Paul Dummett on the BPLs player of the year,
which Dummett was red carded for and Suárez was left clutching his knee. In no
time at all a connection with that incident led to Dummett receiving death
threats on social media. Meanwhile Suárez was reassuring an anxious nation that
he would be fit for the World Cup as he tweeted out his thanks for the
outpouring of support he has received since the surgery. With no clear timeframe
for recovery the Uruguayan FA are fully optimistic Suárez will be fit to play in
what would be his second World Cup Finals. At South Africa 2010 Uruguay was the
undoubted surprise team as they made it through to the semifinals before
succumbing to Holland 3-2. Suárez though was suspended from that game after
receiving a red card in the quarter-final against Ghana following an incident
that undoubtedly goes down in World Cup infamy. A deliberate hand ball on the
goal line by Suarez prevented a certain goal in the final minute. In doing so it
denied Ghana an almost certain place in World Cup history as the first African
nation to make it to the semi-finals. With the score deadlocked 1-1 after extra
time, Uruguay prevailed on penalties. No one needs reminding of other disturbing
incidents that have plagued and haunted Suárez since then. This season not only
was he in the form of his career his behaviour has undergone a complete
transition and improvement no one could have imagined. Suárez has credited this
to the time he has spent this season with renowned Sports Psychologist Dr. Steve
Peters and was seen as pivotal for the unprecedented success achieved by the
Team GB cyclists at London 2012. Peters is now a significant part of the
70-strong staff of the England team that has conducted a mini camp in the
Algarve, Portugal this week. Tuesday night after dinner he addressed the entire
squad. When Roy Hodgson announced back in March, Peters would be part of the
English set up, many ridiculed that decision. Following Tuesdays session Wayne
Rooney was left suitably impressed, and so much so he intends to meet with
Peters on a one to one basis. Rooney will be the first to admit that outside of
his international tournament debut at EURO 2004 he has underperformed in all
subsequent tournaments. The indelible image of Rooney at South Africa 2010 is
not of a wonder goal. Its of a very agitated looking Rooney aiming a tirade of
abuse at England fans into a pitch side camera due to the booing the players
received at the final whistle following a pitiful performance against Algeria.
The player Sven-Göran Eriksson once described as an English Pelé is fully aware
this could be his last World Cup to leave a lasting legacy. Such is Rooneys
desire to regain full physical fitness after suffering a groin injury that kept
him out of Manchester Uniteds last 3 league matches of the season he arrived in
the Algarve ahead of the main party accompanied not by his WAG but 2 private
fitness instructors. Working on the mental preparation he believes will provide
him with a crucial few extra percent. In doing so should provide Rooney with
the added confidence to finally be that difference maker on a world stage. A
stage which Landon Donovan should be, and Luis Suárez hopefully will be, a
significant part of.
