Can anyone give me an argument on how more Nonsoccer players know about LD? I get he's really good and everyone that knows anything about soccer knows him but he apparently is now is retired. Do non soccer fans watch old reruns of the 2010 World Cup or la Galaxy games to know who he is?

yep I caught my buddy doing that the other day. That's the way he found out who Landon is. Crazy stuff.

Endorsement deals, TV spots, Sports Illustrated covers, ESPN commercials, etc. You know, the same way everyone else gets know. Hell, he was on the cover of at least one FIFA game

Landon (who is at the forefront) , Clint, Howard and Bradley will likely be talked about as the core that made soccer a big deal here in the States.

Three had somewhat successful careers in Europe, while Landon established the MLS here at home.

I won't be surprised at all if Landon has somewhat of a Michael Jordan-esque reputation to him in 10-15 years.
