In Episode 1 of Team 33, we kicked off the show with a chat about the players who are missing this summer's World Cup.

Not players missing through injury or because their countries did not qualify. Up for debate, were the players who have been left out of their nations' squads for something other than pure talent.

So as we went around the studio one by one, tactics went out the window and also Landon Donovan had yet to be dropped. Check out the 11 players we chatted about below and let us know who would make your absentee XI via the Team 33 Twitter.
