If there's anything I've learned from trying to rustle jimmies here, it's that they always rustle harder than you think or expect. I decided to take it back a notch when I was namechecked in the LD retirement thread and realized that occasionally people actually read the stupid shite I say.

All bullshite aside, I'd love to see LD take some time off and then become involved with the MLS in order to grow the game. I think with his pull and respect with young players here, he'd be able to do much more good than he would as a commentator/pundit. That said, if he would replace Alexi Lalas as the resident smugman, I'd be okay with it. At least Landon has some real credentials and has been super successful at a high level. I wasn't even butthurt when he wasn't positive about the team during the World Cup. I'm fine with that. I just would rather see Landon saying real shite from experience instead of Alexi calling every gritty performance by any team "American" and beating off to set plays.

I will openly admit to being a major douche and troll related to LD, but I will never apologize about disliking Alexi... outside of when we play Mexico. He's awesome as shite then.

I wonder what role Donovan will move into vis a vis soccer once he has retired. I think he will lean to being a guest analyst on shows rather than a match commentator or regular analyst. I think he will be involved in community outreach and youth programs on a grassroots level. I don't think he will be involved with a club on an investment or management level.

I upvoted your post about Landon, which says a lot cause of how much we argued about this.

I will never like Jurgen and will always be team Landon, but it is a good see he is getting a testimonial at the least.
