I'm very tempted to order my third shirt with Donovan on the back now seeing as lcab says he's coming (y) But this is me we're talking about, so knowing my luck I should probably wait until it's announced...

I just looked up the Teams from a game I went to in New Zealand.

FIFA U17 World Cup Semi Final, USA v Australia.

Aus won on pens, but in the scoresheet that day (and scored a pen) was a certain Landon Donovan.

tbh I dont remember that much about it as I had a 3 y.o. with me and spent 1/2 the game faffing around with him, as I remember the only atmos. was an anti Aus one.

suppose this belongs in here.
 
My timeline may be off, but I believe Donovan's U17 WC was the start of this phase. Seems you would recall something like that...

Yep, that's what made it all fall out. As I say, I don't remember that much of the game really, I had a 3 y.o. with me and had no experience with kids, the pitch was quite far away as well as it was a Commonwealth games Athletics venue (Everton played there in the 80's), the crowd weren't really interested, and when a couple of Local All Blacks turned up they seemed to get more attention.

I'm sure I got a programme when I think about it. Think it was some generic fifa brochure or somethin' used throughout the tournament.

There were 5,000 there apparently. It says Landon got the Golden Ball which is for MVP of the tournament.
