Landon Donovan’s comments on Pulisic is everything wrong with American soccer

Sure LD letting CP be a shoe in for playing time in a substandard league in the prime of his career will be the best thing for his career
Exactly the problem with MLS and American national team players not having to fight week in and week out for their place at their club like in Europe.

Legendary USMNT striker Landon Donovan thinks Christian Pulisic would have been better off joining Major League Soccer rather than AC Milan. Reports indicate that the forward is close to completing a $22 million transfer away from Chelsea, where he spent the previous four years.

The World Cup is coming in three years. This is once in a lifetime. He’s going to be in the prime of his career, his life as a soccer player, his earning potential — I’m sure he’s making plenty of money — but the ability to come to MLS kind of like [Lionel] Messi did. I’m not so sure that wasn’t a big reason for Messi, the World Cup coming here. “I think it would have been a great move … for the Galaxy to go out and get Christian. Bring him here, pay whatever you have to pay him. Bring an American superstar who has global recognition back to MLS ahead of the World Cup. I think it would have been a great move and I can hear the Twitterverse going crazy.

“My biggest thing is he needs to play. I know we all said when he went to Chelsea, ‘He’s going to play a lot.’ He didn’t play a lot, especially last year. At Milan. I would think he’s going play a lot but you just don’t know. “So leading into the World Cup, what if he spends the last six months leading into 2026 like he did this year, then what happens? He’s not playing a lot and he’s not in good form going into the World Cup.

How many starters do we have that aren’t over in Europe?
Zero? Maybe one or two defenders and that’s it?
Landon has a stake in his USL team so I’m sure he has some bias towards the MLS but I find it hard to believe that his attitude is what’s wrong with American soccer when the vast vast majority of our team is going to challenge themselves in Europe.

Landon doesn’t want to be the only MNT superstar who backed down from a challenge and never reached his full potential.

Taking the bait. Hook line and sinker. Donovan knew what he was doing. Same shite Lalas does, say absurd shite for the clicks.
All of our best players (ie most USMNT starters) are in Europe. MLS players got what percentage of the minutes at the World Cup? Like 10%? (mostly thanks to Zimmerman who was decent) You’re bitching and moaning about a problem that doesn’t exist.

He needs to get his shite together and see the pitch

As much as I loved Landon as a player, they really need to take the microphone away from that dude.

Landon is a moron. He lost his marbles long ago.

What would you have said if he went to Fulham? There’s an American mentality in all of our other sports where athletes want starting roles and to play every game. No one’s trying to go to sit on the bench anywhere and “fight for their spot”.
