Landon Donovan 3. Ecuador 1. That’s one way of writing up the friendly earlier today that the US National team engaged in. A hat trick for Donovan. And these quotes from him:

“I’m now embracing a leadership role. I used to say: ‘I’d love to be a leader. I want to be a leader.’ But it’s not good enough to say it. You have to show it.”

Why yes. Yes you do. At 25, perhaps Donovan is finally growing the fuck up. Fans of United States footie certainly can hope so. Games like today’s surely help those hopes along.
