Landon Donovan

playing well for PSV over the summer in terms of getting his preseason right.

But he hasn't played for the national team.

He hasn't played for the national team.

He's logged 16 minutes

from the beginning of 2025 when he got injured to if he doesn't play in March, he'll have played 16 minutes.

Yeah.

And it's, you know, again, you know I harp on this, but it's constantly being in the shop window for your club, right?

It's constantly like banging on the door of your national team manager.

And what I mean by that is like,

Sometimes you have to be a brat.

Sometimes you have to be in the ear of the assistant coach going, why isn't he playing?

I should be playing this next game.

I've done that.

Hey, going into camp, am I going to play this camp?

Ask the assistant manager to sort of get answers from him and needle the manager.

We're having this conversation like, what does it mean

for the squad, I would throw that back to you, Landon, and go, do me a favor.

Could you imagine us talking about Italy, England, Spain, and saying like, hey, the number two striker has only played 16 minutes over the last year.

Is this our number two striker?

You'd slap me.
