Sure, I'm assuming they will be just fine without Donovan in their upcoming exhibition game against Honduras on Saturday, but they aren't going to be the same team.
Donovan is not only the leader of this team, but he is the spark-plug.

He sees the field like almost nobody in the sport can, and he knows exactly what to do in any situation.
