I don't know if you guys have seen the Steve Nash and Landon Donovan series for FIFA 11 on youtube but it's hilarious.

Donovan was great Sunday night in Seattle. He and Beckham were put in a very defensive role and they shut down Seattle's fast wingers. Donovan only has a possible three more games(that's if LA make it to the final) until he can rest.

If you want to see the highlights from Sundays game.
Decent Donovan strike at 2:40 and amazing goal by his teammate Buddle at 3:30.

That goal makes it even more annoying that Buddle didn't start in the World Cup when Altidore started every game.

I watched the game and he and Beckham were clearly playing very defensive to provide cover for the full backs (I am assuming LA were concerned about the Seattle wingers pace?) anyways they played really well in that regard. Landon made one jet heeled 70 yard run in particular in the second half that immediately springs to mind but had no support, he outran them on a number of other occasions to. He looked a little tired but not as tired as he did a few weeks back, imo. 6 weeks or so break and he'll be sound :)

Buddle's goal was a beauty too.
 
From a recent interview with Don Garber:
SA: Landon Donovan didn’t leave MLS after the World Cup, but offers could be forthcoming during the offseason or further down the road. Is this still a matter where the ultimate decision, and the price, lies with the club’s ownership group, AEG, and not the Board of Governors?

GARBER: It is and it always was. The Board of Governors has never had any approval rights over what a club does in regards to signing a player.

Yes. Zakuani scares the crap out of me when he turns and faces our Dynamo wingbacks because he WILL beat them if given just a bit of space. Your wide midfielders have to try and deny him time and space on the ball as well.
