This was the team Clive Charles coached is it not? The same coach that had Connor Casey start a lot or most of those games right?

That was the same coach who did not think Donovan was a key member of that 2000 US Olympic team. He did not start a lot of games if I remember right. When Donovan did get into a game he played him as a wing mid. I remember that at that time Donovan did not really know how to play the wing mid, and got lost in some of the games that he played in.

Am I wrong about this my memory is very bad, but I can't help remembering that Charles did not have much confidence in Donovan at that time. So Donovan playing time was very limited, and he was not a key member of the 2000 olympic team.
