re: Twellman: Donovan to Retire at End of MLS Season

Just out of curiosity, what is your opinion of Dempsey and Bradley?

As displayed during the World Cup, I am a massive Michael Bradley fan. I lost my shite the same way people lose their shite over LD when criticized. That said, I was really disappointed. I feel the same way about Dempsey. I don't dislike them. I'm just disappointed that we don't have them playing at the highest level.

The difference is that this is a huge time for guys like Dempsey and Bradley. The league is booming, and teams are paying massive amounts to get those players home. I understand Dempsey's predicament, but I don't feel like Bradley should have left just yet. When Landon went to Everton, I was stoked, and when he was doing well and getting club awards for his play, I was sure that he was going to go and wreck shite in Europe. Suddenly, he was back in the MLS and nothing really came of it. It infuriated me because it's clear that he had the tools to do well.

yeah we need saints like you to knock him down a few pegs every now and then. we're not sure why, but we are glad that someone like you does. you're doing god's work, and we thank you

I understand that this is all probably very upsetting for you so I'm going to make this very clear. I'm admitting that Landon Donovan was a great player, and I wanted him to perform at the highest level he could. It's not like he's reading the SB crying because some douchebag is overly critical of him from time to time.
