Fair. But you can't believe the conversations were the same.
Landon's was closer to I don't know if I have the passion for this game anymore. I'm peacing out for a while. Not sure when I'll be back if I will be back.
Tim Howard was tired from lots of soccer. It's after the World Cup, he is still playing for Everton, and he gave Klinsmann a return date.
I agree, these are not the same situations. Donovan was burnt out from soccer and didn't enjoy it anymore. Howard just wants more free time to spend with his family.
However, the endgame is ultimately the same in that the USMNT will be missing a key player for an important competition. There are some people in this thread who crucified LD for bailing on the USMNT during the third round of WCQ's (not saying it was you). Well, it looks like Howard is bailing on the USMNT during the Gold Cup.
For the record, I have no problem with what Donovan did and what Howard is doing. They know themselves better than anybody and they needed/need a break.

Also, slightly different because we all know that there is an adequate replacement for Howard. That just wasn't the case with Donovan. We didn't have a player who could do what he did.
