TUKWILA, Wash. - Former Major League Soccer and United States national team great Landon Donovan made national headlines on Thursday when the LA Galaxy announced he’s returning to the game nearly two years after his widely celebrated retirement.
Donovan is MLS and U.S.' all-time leading goalscorer and one of the most decorated American players ever. He won six MLS Cups in his 14-year stint in the league, including five with LA where he spent the last 10 years of his career.
Donovan's return will undoubtedly be the storyline for the final six weeks of the season and heading into the postseason, with LA currently in second place in the Western Conference.
