Ali Daei had 109 goals, and no matter which teams he scored against, it's an impressive record.

Besides, when compared to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landon_Dono...onal_goals

The quality of the opponents are not that different. And even if you think that Donovan scored against slightly better teams, bear in mind that 109 is far (not only slightly) more than 57.

And Ali Daei had fewer caps than Donovan. Sagrin

Still, both are impressive in their own rights. For instance, their international goal records are better than Maradona SagrinSagrinSagrin

and Messi too. Icon_lol2

How ironic, here is a guy who claims to a football fan and yet can't differentiate between the goal scoring ratio of a striker and a midfielder. I think you deserve a permanent 1ban for disrespecting Mr. Football.

If idiocy requires a ban, you should have been banned since birth, not just for example now with "Maradona is a midfielder" idiocy.

Didn't know this is a possibility even

So anyone know the reason? I vaguely follow US football and so I heard he's not played much in qualifying? Still, seems a bit odd to leave him out.

'Official' reason is using youth and speed to try to counter Germany and other teams in the group.

The only rational explanation for this is that this would have been the 4th WC of Donovan at the age of 32. The way he cleverly plays game, it is possible that he could still be actively around at the age of 36 when WC2018 comes. Since Germans are very sensitive when it comes to records made by them, Klinsman has made sure that his buddy Lothar Matthäus's legendary record of playing in an astonishing 5 Fifa WC's remains intact.
