Beckham and Donovan To Play?

Posted by Bobby on August 23, 2007

“Don’t be surprised if he’s starting, don’t be surprised if he gets five minutes,” is the latest from Frank Yallop, who is somehow still in charge of the most disappointing team in the MLS. Haven’t heard any word yet from Donovan (since nobody cares), but my guess is that he’ll suit up. I’d also guess that he’ll be more eager to play if Becks does sit this one out, since Landy seems to be obsessed with that captain’s armband.

I didn’t see the Germany-England match, but I turned off the USA-Sweden game at about the 60th minute. I think Donovan had about three touches up to that point and was later subbed off. Expect him to be just as invisible tonight.
