The U.S. Men's National Team just announced their 23-man roster for the 2014 World Cup. And while there are plenty of familiar faces on the team—including Jozy Altidore, Kyle Beckerman, Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey, and Tim Howard—there is one player who surprised a lot of people by not making the team. See if you can pick him out:

Give up (and not see the headline of this post, ha)? The USMNT will not include Landon Donovan in the World Cup this year. And it's not sitting well with some people out there:

No Landon Donovan on #USA's World Cup roster feels like straight up treason
I am stunned shocked no Landon Donovan !!! Wow ! I didn't expect him to start in brazil but left out entirely ?! #usmnt
No Landon Donovan for team USA.. That's a little puzzling.

Are you surprised by the news?
