He's a legend of US soccer. He's arguably the best player of all-time in US soccer, but according to me, he's the best player that I've played with. It's hard to quantify what he means to soccer in this country and I think that we've come to find that out over the years. He's the leader in goals, the leader in assists, second all-time in appearances.

He's always set his standards so high and continues to achieve them and I think that's something quite rare in US soccer and someone that will be remembered throughout his time.

One that always springs to mind for me was the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. We're down 2-0 to Slovenia at halftime. Landon Donovan leads with a goal in the 2nd half then Michael Bradley scores. We come into the locker room thinking we've done well in getting a tie, fighting back from 2-0 down and Landon comes in after his interview, throws his shoe on the ground and starts yelling that it's not good enough to be happy with a tie. He's always wanting to win. Well, guess who popped up in the 93rd minute against Algeria to lead us through the group stage, Landon Donovan.
