Me too. Oh a missed chance when being unselfish.

We are going to be tough out for any team in the future.

Think we have found a LB in Garza.

I wish Garza was faster.

Yedlin keeps playing well and nobody ever expects him to.

Donovan looked good. I think he unretires at some point.

Guzan is our guy.

Idiots. He didn't shoot and was unselfish. He will get called up again. It is a fricking friendly. He looked lively and a threat.

I swear, you dudes take one match so fricking seriously.


...it was a joke, hence the emoticon that you failed to quote.

Garza was a pleasant surprise, no doubt. We definitely had some talent on the pitch tonight. We just need to figure out how best to groom it and have grow into something productive.

I would love for US Soccer to make an actual jersey like that.

I would totally buy one.

I just finished watching the game. It was great to see such an amazing tribute to one of my favorite athletes.

I am going to miss him watching him play so much. I really hope the Galaxy win it all this year (one more time) because the farewell between Donovan and Arena will be special.

There were a couple things I realized while watching the documentary and the highlight videos posted.

Landon's first goal was against Mexico. It was the second goal of the game. Landon's 2002 headed goal in the World Cup was against Mexico. Landon's last was against Mexico. It was the second goal of the game.

Also, I believe Landon accomplished scoring a dos a cero goal one other time in his career.

I pointed this out in another thread that he almost had a sixth World Cup against Portugal that was (properly) ruled as an own goal.

Landon never missed a penalty in his USMNT career. I believe he made 13, but that number may be wrong and can easily be found out. I loved the Gatorade commercial for Landon.

Most of all, Landon is the reason I got into soccer. I was watching the 2010 World Cup with friends and Landon's dominance just hooked me. The overpowering goal against Slovenia was just surreal. I have never seen a goalie that scared of the ball. Then, his famous goal in the 91' minute was maybe the greatest moment ever for the group of us that were there. Landon Donovan quickly became one of my favorite athletes ever. That memory will never fade away.

Non-Landon game notes:

I liked Garza. His ten years with the US since U-14 was a pretty neat fact from the broadcast.

I feel bad for Bobby Wood. He is going to lose some sleep over that one. Hopefully, he will score one soon for the US to get over that a little. The only good thing about that miss was it kept the spotlight on the LegenD.

Guzan is good as shite. I feel like the US is permanently set at keeper.

Most of all, thanks for everything, Landon.

And he should absolutely be in every serious starting 11 going forward. I think Mix could have done well in Brazil.

Speaking of people who should be back in the national team fold...

Also, that was probably the most beautiful counter attacking goal I've ever seen.
