Landycakes, Primadonovan, G.O.A.T.

If you're like me, you probably received your copy of Eurosport in the mail today. Landon Donovan is this issue's cover boy and it got me thinking about how hard we (as in the soccer media & fans) ride the guy. Despite the love/hate relationship, he is the Greatest Of All Time for U.S. soccer players. He won the Golden Ball for being the best player at the 1999 U-17 World Championships. He was the youngest american to sign with a foreign club. He is the only 5 time winner for Honda Player of the year. He is the U.S.'s all time goalscoring and assists leader...and to top it all off he is the first U.S. soccer player with a WAG. Not too shabby for a guy who's still only 27.
Here is Landon with his WAG, actress Bianca Kajlich.


Here is the highlight video for his MLS 2008 Golden Boot Award.

Oh yeah, that U.S. jersey at the top of the post has got to be one of my favorites. It's classic.
