Donovan joining Sockers

Great player. Great career. But the last few years....wtf is he thinking?
The stint in Mexico, the Wells Fargo adds, the mls team he was trying to bring to San Diego.
He’d be thought of in a more positive light if he just joined a men’s rec league and messed around once in a while.
His voice is a bit monotone, but he has been decent on TV. Won’t someone put him on a broadcast? Or give him a coaching job? I can’t imagine he is making much money playing for the sockers. He’d be better off running soccer camps or hooking on to a DA club.

He has a house in my area. He is more than welcome to come play with my men's team when in town. However, he will be the new guy and has to bring the beer. :D

I used to play in an old-man (over-40) indoor soccer league. One of the players on another team was a former NFL placekicker. I blocked one of his shots one night, and the following week I showed him the soccer-ball-pattern bruise on my thigh.
 
Over-40 is not old!

I played in the league until I was 57. I finally decided that since my back was taking about 10 days to recover from each week's games, I had had enough. I was going to tell my teammates after the next-to-last game one season of my plans to quit, but that night I scored 5 goals. My back suddenly felt great.
 
It's a genius move by the Sockers. I was there on Sunday along with 2,900 fans (allegedly). Unfortunately, we will never get back to the days of Vee, Quinn, Crow, Willrich, Deyna, Coker etc.

I remember going to watch them play against the LA Lazers. A high school friend and teammate use to play for Anaheim Splash and series of other indoor teams in a long career.

A source told ESPN FC that Donovan will make $250,000 to play the remainder of the MASL season, consisting of 13 games.

Not a bad payday for LD

I remember back in the 80's when I was walking my date across the street after a sold-out game to where I had parked my car, and some guy going the other way asked where all those people were coming from.
 
Lol@"Landon Donovan is not only a world class player,"

Playing marbles maybe?
World Class basically means among the best in the World. Of course Americans believe US is the world.

Baseball - World Series
