Thought it was one of the worst YC calls I've ever seen. Donovan beat him to the spot, cut him off and he fell down. Would have been a soft...
It was equivalent just in the sense of the losing team feeling like they should have or could have it. Shot counts can be somewhat misleading,...
We did a very good job against Germany, doing what we needed to do. We were basically toothless, but coming off the Manaus game on short rest and...
It was the Group of Death in December when the groups were announced. It certainly wasn't in July when the games were played. Portugal was a shell...
It has to go in or be saved (by the keeper or by a defender clearing it off the line with the keeper beat, such as Torsten Frings with his hand)....
Blocked by a defender. Never made it to goal.
It is easy to put soccer +/- into context - he played in our tougher matches and it was sorta random happenstance he was thrown out there as a DM...
The Algeria goal is obviously tops on my memory list, and the Brazil counter is up there as well. But one of my lasting LD memories is a shot that...
We got decent results, but I think Portugal being a shell of themselves puts it in better context. It was the Group of Death in December when...
I was unclear. I didn't mean he had anything to do with the goal waved off. Just that we were in position to have a chance to win since he played...
We are saying that he played well against Italy - the team that won the while thing. And we're not spinning when providing direct quotes from his...
Bruce Arena spun it that way: http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/03/17/12/26/arena-donovans-performance-vs-italy-proves-his-greatness And the...
He was coaching the Gold Cup last year, when LD was coming off a hiatus and turned it on because he had something to prove (earning his way back...
If Klinsmann projected that Donovan wouldn't be able to contribute based on form of the Mexico friendly and some early season MLS kickarounds, he...
More impressed with the assists. Career high 18 after 3 yesterday. He's had a hand in 28 Galaxy goals - his career best is 29.
Looked brilliant tonight - vision, creativity, pace, etc. He's playing as well as he's ever played in the MLS.
Playing in England isn't a guarantee of international success. Example - England. I never said anything remotely close to your final point.
That's an argument for 2003. He chose the path he chose, and you can maybe argue that he chose a path that stopped him from being as good as he...
I think if he didn't have this current run of form, a fair case could be made that he just didn't have it any more (or at least enough to play on...
Yes, Landon Donovan has managed to get his head fully into a Gold Cup in 2013 and into his stretch run in his last MLS season in 2014, making a...
If he keeps up his current form, it could be Donovan. He's making up for lost time, but nobody's been better in the last two months. He's only two...
What he said was that he can't practice all out for 12 straight days without dropping off. Which I think is fair - there's a reason that soccer...
That quote to me was the worst Klinsmann offense of all. He's done some good things, but the three things I don't like were leaving LD behind when...
Portugal (without Ronaldo) lost at home to Albania in Euro qualifying today 1-0.
I dunno. I'm a big proponent that he should have been there, but I'm under no illusions that he would have put us through against Belgium. I think...
