Jurgen Klinsmann’s Son Laughs At Landon Donovan Not Picked For World Cup 2014 U.S. Team: Coach Deletes His Son’s Twitter Account
Landon Donovan, a top-scoring American striker, has been left out of the U.S. soccer team's World Cup 2014 roster. Landon Donovan has scored over 50 goals for the U.S. soccer team, so coach Jurgen Klinsmann's choice to leave the striker out shocked everyone. However, Jonathan Klinsmann, the coach's son, laughed in Landon Donovan's face via Twitter instead of trying to console the striker.
"HHAHAHAHAHAHAH DONAVAN HAHAHAHAA I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UNTIL PHONE NOTIFIED ME HAHA," tweeted Jonathan Klinsmann after he heard the news via his new feed. Is this guy always like this or did Landon Donovan do something to him?

Turns out, Jurgen Klinsmann just has no filter, is really bad on social media and apparently had his phone on caps lock. "Highly disappointed. I called him right away," Jurgen Klinsmann said to Washington Post journalist, "He got his biggest social media lesson he could imagine." And that lesson was confisticating his son's right to a Twitter account. Keep your opinions to yourself, son. Forever. Maybe even question your privileges of going to this year's World Cup. When Jurgen Klinsmann was asked to explain Landon Donovan, he said that he solely saw Landon as a striker that did not necessarily bring cohesion to the midfield. So he was left out because he is a scorer, not a team player. Read the U.S. Soccer Team's tweet about their World Cup 2014 roster:

"I was looking forward to playing in Brazil, and as you can imagine, I am very disappointed with today's decision," Donovan said in a statement last night. "Regardless, I will be cheering on my friends and teammates."
But one person's bad news is a blessing to another. Bleacher Report speculated that because of Landon Donovan's exclusion, the 18-year-old Julian Green gets to hop on the flight to Brazil. He is a midfielder that Jurgen Klinsmann recently took an interest in.
Landon Donovan has not replied to Jonathan Klinsmann's the childish text. Hey, I wouldn't either.
