Osorio only the latest manager sweating Giovani dos Santos' inconsistencies

Though the El Tri boss is working to figure out if the LA Galaxy attacker will make the cut, he's hardly the first to face this question

There is no more divisive player on the Mexico roster than Giovani dos Santos.

Everyone will agree he has talent, but even his biggest fans will admit that talent isn't always on display while his detractors have to concede that he has influenced matches in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Now it's El Tri manager Juan Carlos Osorio's job to figure out which is more likely to happen this summer – for Dos Santos to show his talent and be player who needs to be on the Mexico roster for Russia or someone who won't be able to rediscover his form and is better off left at home.
