Sir Landon Of Donovan

[SerenityNigh]

Glad Landon is getting a chance for one last USA appearance to say goodbye to the fans. Unfortunately the tensions between him and Klinsman don't seem to have been resolved.

@AlexiLalas: LD told @GrantWahl he didn’t speak to @J_Klinsmann re final #USMNT gm & Klinsmann’s son never apologized for tweet. http://t.co/NfJVy8Di4J

@AlexiLalas: A source at @USsoccer tells me that @J_Klinsmann called Landon Donovan about 10 days ago w/ all details re his upcoming final #USMNT game. A source at @USsoccer tells me that @J_Klinsmann's son emailed Landon Donovan an apology right after the #USMNT tweet incident in May.

These are confusing comments, but what strikes me as odd is that Klinsmann's son thinks it's appropriate, after attempting to embarrass someone via social media, to send an apology by email instead of placing a call? Don't lie and say you've apologized if all you did was "email an apology."

Also, why does this kid have Donovan's email address in the first place?

Daft isn't it? Did he ever issue a public apology?

I don't know, just find it odd that Jurgen a source at @USSoccer thinks it's newsworthy to comment on the fact that Klinnsmann's son "[sent] an apology by email."

Maybe it's not that odd after all. If Jurgen thinks it's ok to act like this, instead of being respectfully direct, no wonder his kid thinks he can shoot off an email and apologize.

I may be biased as I'm still relatively young (21) but Landon's been the most important US player to US soccer to date. Glad this games happening. Also love his honesty particularly when talking about mental health

Agree, having high profile people like him open up about their own struggles with depression may help others going through it.

Haha....What about a last horrah at Goodison from jan - May Landon? Impact sub ?

No idea the level he's at anymore, but if he's usefull still for a couple of months at the business end before he hangs up his boots, may not be the worst temp addition. Or maybe it would....

 

[bizzaro]

I'd prefer to see him at Goodison than anywhere else

 

[Groucho]

That ship has sailed I think.

It's a nice romantic idea, but just like the Tim Cahill shouts, as great as he was, I reckon best left as ideas.

 

[RAFUH]

He says he wants to travel and experience the game as a fan so I figure he'll be back at Goodison before too long ....just in the stands not on the pitch

I don't think he would come back to play anyways, he loves Everton but once this MLS season is done I think he'll stay retired, seems happy with his decision to hang it up

Wish somebody would just shoot him so we can burn this thread.

 

[Hellerad]

Wish somebody would just shoot him so we can burn this thread.

Then he'd lead the league for assassinations and we'd honor him with a thread.

Maybe he's the investor Kenwright's been searching for?
