Which leaves me with just one thing left to do.

Thank you, Landon Donovan.

For sticking with Major League Soccer when no one else did.

For scoring that 91st minute goal against Algeria.

For the countless amount of “dos-a-cero” games against Mexico that you were a part of.

For igniting a whole new generation of soccer players and fans.

For making me fall in love with this sport during the 2002 World Cup.

For saving soccer in America.

As pretty much has always been the case, you’ve won.
