Jurgen Klinsmann on Chris Wondolowski: "He's an extremely important player"

When Jurgen Klinsmann released his 26-man roster for the US national team's upcoming World Cup Qualifiers on Sunday, one of the selections that instantly sparked plenty of debate was that of veteran San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski.

There were those who questioned the wisdom of Klinsmann calling the two-time MLS Golden Boot winner when other players appear to be in better form, but the German coach had an answer ready for his critics.

Klinsmann held a Facebook Q&A on Monday afternoon, and in it he stated how valuable Wondolowski is to the Americans' cause.
