Landon Donovan

I mean, look, someone said to me today, and they're right, the only thing that matters is what happens June 12th.

And I know, I know, I know.

But whatever soccer gods there are out there, thank you.

As an American fan who loves the game and has loved it since they were born.

thank you for paraguay australia and turkey is a good team but thank you those two because people kept asking me today like as i was signing autographs

what are the expectations or what does success look like?

Yeah, of course.

Well, I was like, if we finish first in our group, that's one path of expectations.

Sure.

But if we slip up against Turkey or maybe draw Australia or Paraguay and we're second or, God forbid, third, then it's a whole different set of expectations.

Sure.

You know what I mean?

And so I'm just so grateful for that because –

if this team had been playing over and over, the same 11 or 12 or 13, over and over, we would be getting good results right now, by the way.

I 100% believe that.

We would be much better.

And then we'd go into the World Cup and you'd be like, okay, let's go.

And it wasn't, Tim, I promise you, it wasn't that we lost these games.

We could have lost these games.

That's part of it.
