I hate to report this story considering it's scheduled to come out in a UK tabloid but after reading Donovan's quote on the matter it makes me think there is some truth to this. "I was informed of the possibility during the World Cup, and if I need to take responsibility, then I will provide the appropriate support," Donovan told SI.com. "This is a private matter and I will refrain from further comment at this time." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...10/06/26/donovan.tabloid/index.html?eref=sihp
why is this even a big deal? so he knocked it out with a brit while playing for everton (i assume). he's separated from his wife. not like he did anything wrong. just goes to show you that nothing good comes out of loaning a player to another team!
And what if there is truth to this matter? Is it going to make you stop following the Galaxy? Get a life dude. This is a football forum.
So then this is not newsworthy? Well that's your opinion. But if repected soccer outlets like soccerbyives are reporting this then I feel it's justified to report it here. I am not only a Galaxy but a US and Donovan fan. I feel for the guy if this is true. It seemed like he's been trying to work this out with his estranged wife and this will definitely have an impact on that. Speaking as a married man of 8 years that has been through some really difficult times with me wife, I pray that Donovan is able to get through this.
If this is true, then I'm happy for Landon to have the opportunity to be a father, but it just increases the likelihood that Landon leaves the Galaxy to play in England.
This honestly has no impact on me. If it's his and he's going to take responsibility then good for him. If it isn't his and it's just media gone nuts, then whatever. Doesn't change my opinion or support for him either way.
The real question here is will they ever develop a contraceptive strong enough to stop Landon Donovan's seed?
Seriously, I think we should sub the kid in with like a minute left in the Brazil game, just to be sure...
In another thread it said he found this out right after the Algeria match. I can't help but think that this revelation must have messed with his head and potentially explains his completely out-of-it performance against Ghana. It's possible he didn't even sleep between the two matches, with all the implications running through his head: fatherhood, the loss of probably millions of dollars in some kind of support settlement, impacting his public image just as he is on the cusp of national herohood and providing juicy tabloid fodder on the heels of his retrospectively staggeringly ill-timed "Hi, Bianca.". Its easy to make locker room "you dog!" comments, but in real life with real people, these kinds of situations have massive repercussions, including on workplace performance. That is a very real possibility here.
So just who did Donovan kiss the camera after the goal? Inquiring minds want to know. J/K... I dont care either way. Im hoping LD comes back to finish off our season!
I find this kind of sad, if true. I've always thought family was important to him and he wants to be a father, but not like this.
Me too. And it makes me kind of angry. This girl had to know before the World Cup...why does she wait until his biggest moment to spring it on him, if indeed it's even his. I know he'll do the right thing by the child, but it's still got to be a very conflicting time.
Jar Jar Why the hell does he have to do the right thing anyway? He should Maury Povich that "English" Trollip. Landon in the case of 5 month old Tristina Donovan... you are (******) the father. Let this tramp learn what American hoes have know for decades, you better learn to take of your meal ticket by yourself. Now that Landon is bearing children outta wedlock I see Nike knocking down his door for a huge endorsement money. Because they just so happen to sponsor and all-star NBA team who collectively have about 60 kids by several different women. We are all and I do mean the collective us... a bunch of racist judgementalists. why can't an evangelic looking, suburban and well spoken white kid be the MLS & U.S. Soccers own Shawn Kemp. I approve of Landon Donovan knocking up as many whores, groupies, and professional sperm recepticles as he can. We might be able as some people have mentioned to cap a few of his talented offspring, before they grow up to resent him and play for their mother's country.
