Just life. As you get older, there are better athletes and skill players who can replace place you. He is not that good anymore compared to some of the younger talent in the MLS.

Typically athleticism goes down over the course of the career, while awareness and understanding of the game increases. At a certain point, physical abilities erode faster than mental abilities replace them. For a soccer player, the peak is usually between 26-28. A smart, technical player like Donovan can be good until his mid-thirties if he keeps his fitness up. This guy was a starter on a mid-table EPL team two years ago, and now you don't think he's good enough for an MLS all-star team?
