Landon Donovan

Imagine the conversation between the agent and Nike.

You know what's funny about it?

Is I remember, like, this is how I thought about kids.

I'm guessing you're the same.

Like...

Because we had the good fortune of playing so often for the national team, that feeling of a new, fresh kit was always so fun, whether it was like a World Cup year or not, right?

It's like whenever the new kit dropped, you were like buzzing for it because you wanted to play in it, like almost historically.

You're like, this is going to be for the next year or two years.

I want to be seen in this.

I want to score goals in this.

I want to make saves.

So it was always exciting.

So for me, even when the World Cup kit dropped, it was never like,

a letdown.

It was always like, this is what I'm going to be wearing in the world cup.

It was just exciting.

Yeah.

You're excited.

So, but I, but again, I don't, because of, you know, going back to 2014, obviously there was, there was, um, you know, the rise of social media probably in 2010 in South Africa.

And then 2014, it was there, but it wasn't as it wasn't what it is now.
