Landon Donovan to England?
Posted by Ben | Under Gadgets, Uncategorized Wednesday Jul 23, 2008
Okay for those of you that don’t know, I’m a huge soccer supporter. With the season in England being done for now and my favorite team, Manchester United, heading into preseason, I’ve started following the MLS more. One player here in LA, Landon Donovan, has been linked to be interested in heading to England.
Kind of interesting considering the only time Landycakes plays worth a damn is when he is in meaningless MLS games. He played pretty well this weekend in New York and maybe he is stepping his game up to make some teams interested. I doubt it though, he was a pansy ass when he was at Bayern Leverkusen and got homesick of his girlfriend, dogs, and mom.
That, and given the fact that he never scores in menaingful games (he’s the US leading goalscorer because he plays in every match and takes almost every penalty kick) and I’m not sure he’s got the balls to make a move. But, what do I know? I wanted to see what the soccer fans out there thought about this, so here’s a poll I put together inbetween this busy work my boss gave me and reading Bigsoccer and Yanks Abroad about the Olynpic team selection.
The two most important US games of the last 20 years were US vs. Portugal and US vs. Mexico. He scored in both.
@wrongo
Gold Cup vs Mexico is a more important game than US vs Germany in 2002, or vs Italy Ghana or Czech in 2006???
Your gay. Donovan is a tremendous player, although he has had low points, easily our best player ever at this point. Your just another bandwagon Manu supporter, who dosent no crap about the American game.

I don’t “no” crap? Best player ever? Yeah who needs Roy Wegerle, John Harkes, Brad Friedel, or Kasey Keller?
He can’t cut it in Europe. Beckham appears queer,but he isn’t.L.D. appears queer and he is.
LD has just kept getting better recently. I think he has matured and is ready for Europe now, whereas before he was just a kid.
Don’t be a Donovan-hater. The man is the best US player we have right now.
Landon Donovan would not last a second in the English Premier League!
He is WAY!!! OVER-RATED!
The standard of FOOTBALL in the MLS is pathetic! And so are the majority of its players, excluding the foreign pros coming for 1 last paycheck.
Landon Donovan is fast, and it is the only reason he looks good once in a while. He is a great athlete in terms of his speed and stamina. But as a footballer…..he’s utter garbage. No skill whatsoever!
He couldn’t cut it in Europe with Bayern Leverkusen, so there is no way he could cope with the Premier League.
