Weston, Tim Weah, and Gio Reyna, in this matter, it's important that U.S. Soccer and Mauricio Pochettino say, absolutely zero chance I'm playing without those three.
It's not going to be pretty, man. Welcome to Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, presented by Volkswagen. Volkswagen has long been a supporter of soccer in America and has proudly been a partner of U.S. Soccer for the past five years.
LD, what's up, brother? Listen, I just want to start by saying it was so good having you on my side of the country. You don't often come this way to New York City because you are very much a Cali boy. Did you enjoy it? Please tell me why.
I cannot explain to people how cold it was. It was so cool. We got to do a Times Square takeover. Shout out to the marketing team at Sinclair, Nicole, et cetera, for setting that up. Really cool having the LED banners behind us. If you haven't seen it, you can check it out on the social media channels. Tim, it was so cold, dude. Like standing there for 45 minutes, I could not wait to get out of there. And honestly, it took me 45 minutes inside in the warm to stop like sugar. I don't know how you do that, dude.
I don't know how you do that. At one point, you were trying to talk to me and your jaw was like starting to freeze and you couldn't speak, which is a real thing. I know, I was like, I'll let it, I'll let it. It was fun. You know what I loved? I think maybe, maybe pre, pre one of our world cups, we did something in Times Square, but I'm also thinking like, I feel like you and I have had a decent amount of success in the game. And I'm like, I'm not sure I've ever stood in Times Square with like my name, with my name plastered on a moving billboard. You might have. No, I haven't. That was insane. That's cool. It was awesome. Really, really a lot of fun.

Our guy Gio, who I've had a lot to say about and has been in the news, Gio Reyna, started two games this week, scored an absolute bomb on the weekend in Dortmund's draw, 1-1 draw. I just want to say, you know, like when people see headlines or they see things we say, this happens all the time in my life, and I'm sure for you too. People say, oh, why did you do that? Or why did you say that?
And I'll say, what are you talking about? And they'll say, well, I saw the headline that day. And I say, well, did you read what I said? Or did you read the article?
No, no, no.
I just saw the headline. I say, go back, read the article, read what I said, and then let's have a conversation. So... By the way, I am in Gio's corner. I want Gio to succeed. I want every national team player to succeed. We're fans of the sport. We want to see the sport grow. I was on our group chat saying, LFG when he scored the bomb, right? That makes me happy. It doesn't mean we're not going to be honest, and it doesn't mean we're not going to be unfiltered. So everyone's excited about that. I'm excited about that. I just want to remind people, and this is not to be a Debbie Downer, You know how many days it's been since he scored his last club goal? Tell us. 583 days. Okay, so I'm happy for him. Amazing and a great goal.
But everything I said last week still stands true. If that's the way he's going and playing well and scoring, great. Stay at Dortmund. If not... Find a place to play. Whether it's MLS or Holland or Mexico or wherever, I could care less. Go somewhere where you are playing, especially leading up to the World Cup. So happy for him. Let's hope, knock on wood, he can stay healthy now. He clearly deserves to start again, to play again. And let's hope this continues.
Yeah, look, I'm so excited for Gio Reyna because… He's a kid, right? So he'd hate me for saying he's a kid because he'd probably look at me and say, no, I'm a grown man because this is what kids do, right? I tell my daughter the same thing. She's a little girl. She's like, no, I'm not. I'm going to college. She still has a lot to learn, right? As they all do.
