| Not so fast, my friends! |
Apparently, everyone includes the current title-holder himself in Landon Donovan and he may not be too happy to hear about the buzz for the precocious teenager and Justin Bieber devotee. That's why Donovan has made a statement we at IMOTGP can only compare to the words spoken by one Denzel Washington in the clip below that comes straight out of Hollywood. Fast forward to 3:46 and enjoy cinematic greatness ...
Denzel: "I'm the man up in this piece! ... Who the fuck do you think you're fuckin' with? ... I run shit here. You just live here! ... King Kong ain't got shit on me!"
Well that same script applies to Donovan with his stunning announcement that he is ready to come back to LA Galaxy. Because he's the man up in this piece we call U.S. soccer. Because no one fucks with LD's legacy as that. Because he runs shit in football in the United States, the rest of us (including Pulisic and your humble blogger) just live here. Because King Kong (or Kid Kong in the case of Pulisic) can't play football the way Donovan can.
Let's analyze the situation further. It's true that Donovan no doubt saw the potential the U.S. team has after Tuesday's beatdown of TNT and saw himself flourishing alongside an actual talented lineup. Make no bones about it, Donovan wants a piece of Russia and 2018 - it burns in him that he didn't make the trip to Brazil for his fourth straight World Cup. He's ready to silence the doubters once and for all, put a halt to hype created by the Pulisic jersey-wearing hipsters born in the 21st century and lead us to glory in a once-proud country that is fading from relevance.
Sure there's an idiot U.S. head coach to contend with in all of this but make no mistake about it, Landon Donovan is the man up in this piece!
