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

A lot of stuff was said. I generally remember it as a time when one contingent blamed it all on the coach and the other said Landon shared some of the blame.
Looking back I really wish the relationship hadn't gone south, regardless of who is to blame. We could have used him in Brazil.

This is exactly how it went down. Both before and after the cut, I was clear that he should be there. I said that I thought he'd probably even start. Yet, I've been accused multiple times of shitting on him constantly.

Chances that Donovan gets a USA testimonial match?

O/U set at 30%

He gets one. I'd be very shocked if he doesn't. Jurgen may not like him, and he may not like Jurgen. The fact remains that Jurgen can't ignore the contribution he gave us for many years. With LD's status here, he'll get the Jordan send-off. Every match in a city he plays for the last time, there'll be a tribute of some sort.
