Landon Donovan took an implied dig at Christian Pulisic and other USMNT players for their decision to sit out the upcoming Gold Cup .

Donovan didn't name Puliic or any other current USMnt player, but his father reacted to the comments.

Donovan 's comments were the latest made by a key member of a previous generation of a key player to be excluded from the roster due to rest.

Alexi Lalas , a former USMNT defender and two -time World Cup veteran, also criticized Pulisic .

Clint Dempsey , playing alongside Landon Donovan at the 2010 World Cup , has also questioned why current USmNT players are skipping out games.

"I don’t understand how a player turns down the chance to represent his country when it needs him most, especially at such a crucial time," Lalas said.
