study this..
Donovan is the best player the USA ever produce yet still his accomplishment pale in comparison to Yorke, Latapy, arguably Stern and soon Kenwyne..
this is because for all de "good" he supposed "good", he is and always will be a rank underachiever!
he could not cut it at the top like the other concacaf greats i mentioned above.. or like a Hugo Sanchez of Mexico or even Julio Cesar Dely Valdez from Panama..
Donovan is a contextual shitong!! suck on that zeppo..
Nobody outside of T&T rates Latapy the way you guys do, except for maybe the fans of the Scottish minnow teams where he "starred". Yorke is a different story, but neither of those guys ever impressed in their games against us anyway. They were always invisible, leaving U.S. fans to wonder what the big deal was. Meanwhile, Wynalda used to score against your clowny team for fun!
And say what you want about Donovan, but he would never walk out on his country in the middle of a World Cup qualifying campaign:
Yorke and Latapy quit
Couple of gutless quitters...
Similarly, no one outside the US rates Donovan the way you guys do..
at least the guys i called "starred" somewhere else besides in their own backyard. 280 million people and you don't have a Dwight Yorke to talk about like we do with our petty 1.3 million population. Stern John score goals in MLS, England and in CONCACAF for fun.. Latapy played champions league football with Porto.. Even Marvin Andrews has made a name for himself at that level.
Meanwhile Donovan couldn't even cut it with a mid-table German team. Like i said, his achievements against us are irrelevant. Thats like saying Giggs is not good because the top European teams always beat up on Wales.
Lets be honest. Your team's success is based only on the fact that you have a whole lot more resources to plug behind that collection of unskilled laborers and nationalized citizens that make up a very efficient unit called the US national team. I will give you that much, you make up for what you lack in skill with discipline and hard graft. But that team will never have my respect.
As for the walk out on national team comment, lets not move the goalposts here... You do know that Roy Keane walked out on his national team in the middle of a world cup finals but is still regarded as a legend right? All that is circumstances, if the shitongs we have at the TTFF were in charge of your US national program, Donavan would probably walk out too with the quickness..
Come Zeppo, when we talking about players in football (not soccer), man want to talk about the Yorkes of this world not the Donavan's..
PS: By the way if you want to make it personal..
yuh feel Dwight Yorke ever asks Becks to pick up the tab for the whole side when they went out to dinner??Yuh feel Yorke paper weak like cheapskate Donavan own such that he looking for a free ride? Yorke does buy drinks for Becks boy, ketch yuhself!!!
