Legend in USA a FAILURE in Europe
LD without a doubt the greatest player in US history.
I don’t get why people hate on Donovan even though they know he is still a
legend. Also if Cristiano or Messi were from USA would you still hate on
them?
now i’m mad at klinnsman all over again
He’s the reason i began playing football. I loved watching it (i started
watching it in 1997 when i was 5) but never got around to playing it until,
2002 when i saw us beat portugal. When i heard the name Landon Donovan, i
got curious and decided to look him up. I do not regret that decision one
bit, because i recall saying “this is who i wanna be.” Since that day, i
have continued to play.
Europeans are bastards. Seriously? Your judging someone because they’re
from America, may I ask why your on this video? If you were a real fun of
this sport you wouldn’t care if it’s called football or soccer. The British
called it soccer first so you can’t blame us Americans! You don’t control
what other countries call it. We call it soccer and deal with that.
what an endearing tribute video of Landon Donovan! Soccer and MLS is the
only sport and league I follow and it is so hard to find friends and family
to have that same passion, but when I meet that person with the same
interest it is such a genuine find. So when I say my heartbreaks it truly
feels like a break up from a relationship, because you are parting ways
with someone you have followed and loved for many years. He has also helped
me built new lasting friendships so it just shows how much Donovan is an
iconic figure whom has helped grow this sport in America. To me and my
soccer friends we have gotten front row seats to see the growth and change
he has done to this country. Friday’s farewell game I will be watching with
a heavy heart so with that I say #ThanksLD.
I will never forgive Klinnsman. Donovan was the MNT’s best player, he
deserved a lot more.
Ecuador better be ready, cuz our team captain is back :’)
I don’t know why people can’t understand why Landon Donovan is a legend.
Landon Donovan is the best in USMT history because of how much he helped
soccer gain popularity in the United States. He also holds almost ever
record for USMT and MLS.
Klinsman’s dismissal of Donovan in the 2014 World Cup will go down as one
of the worst decisions in the history of US Soccer. Donovan literally
inspired and changed the entire attitude in America in regards to soccer.
We’ll miss you Donovan.
He should of been on the US team this past World Cup dammit!
Landon donovan él mejor de USA
I really want to know the name and for what channel this commenter work. In
6:00 he has poetic words and sounds nice. I have heard him in others
highlight. For me he is the best in english market as an announcer.
landon thank you for the memories and putting the beautiful game on the map
in usa!!
Thumbs down. Little Debbie/Landycakes/Primadonovan is a talented player, no
doubt. Never challenged himself, gave up on the USMNT and his club in 2013
and is flawed in general, just like the rest of us. Jump off the hype
machine, people. Scoring against CONCACAF and from the penalty spot is a
lot different than scoring against world powers…see Dempsey for that…
or Brian McBride. I will thumbs down these worship videos because the USMNT
is about the USA, not him or any other single person.
Donovan is the one of the main reasons why this country is starting to like
futbol. he helped us open are eyes to this game and showed us how beautiful
this game is.. he made us believe that we could play a sport and win even
when nobody believes in us. I’m going to miss you Landon! really were an
inspiration to me when i played. Thank you!
okay seriously WTF why are you euro idiots commenting on this if all your
going to do is hate just leave no one likes u assholes (Tony) just because
you don’t make it in europe does not mean you can make it anywhere else and
still be great in international and u can beat a european team. In ANY
sport it is shown even the best team in the world can be beaten like
germany destroying brazil 5-1 in the wc upsets can happen no matter the
style no matter how fucking superior you think u are because your not no
one’s style of play really even matters how u play it u can be fucking god
and still loose there are plenty of teams in the us especially in American
football that no matter the quality of the players u can be beaten in
anyway shape or form its fact even in european soccer/football huge clubs
have been beaten by mediocre clubs because they were the better players
Thanks for the memories Sir Donovan.
So bummed your last game won’t be shown in Switzerland. It just ain’t
right!
Landon is a good example for younger generations, a man who never got into
any legal trouble, and always played his best for his national squad. I do
not know why he didn’t go to the world cup, for he could have lifted the
atmosphere and intensity in the locker room, and could have sparked the
magic that team usa was lacking very much of.
greatest soccer player of all time
landon donovan is the best football player in the USA? well of COURSE!!
americans didnt even know what football-soccer was 20 years ago, thats why
they dont have anyone else!!! ahah i remeber boooooooing this donovan
character and shouting “eehhhhh putoooooo” when he kicked the ball… i
could die in peace now
*Well done* +U.S. Soccer

Because of the hype, it took a long time for me to warm up to him, but I
sure will miss him now. Thanks for the run Landon.
Good player but Clint Dempsey is the best American soccer player ever.
Proved it in the worlds best league for years.
