I agree with supporting any Concacaf team during the World Cup, but he is doing it for the wrong reasons and is stupid to call out his former teammates for calling him out. I hate Mexico and Costa Rica during the Hex, but at the World Cup I always want our whole federation to do well. It bodes well for us getting a bigger number of World Cup teams in the future. Even with the tournament going to 48 in 2026, the more teams from Concacaf that are in the finals, the better.

CONCACAF doing well is good for US Soccer. Maybe Donovan just following the $$$ is accurate but it's not like he did something unspeakable. Also, how is this thread related to SDSU?

Very loosely related as it is an attack on Landon Donovan who is a supporter of Soccer City which is on the ballot indirectly against SDSU West. It may demonstrate that he will take money for anything whether he truly supports the cause or not. I could be wrong, but I would be surprised if he really wants Mexico to do well based on his disdain for them in the past. Then again, maybe he has changed his tune after playing for recently for Leon or he could just be in agreement with my previous statement about hoping for the best for all Concacaf teams in the World Cup regardless of how you feel about them directly.

All you have to do is look at the Wells Fargo tweet in the OP link. He doesn’t give a rip about Mexico soccer any more than he gives a hoot in hell about SuckerCity.
If there’s a paycheck that his agent has turned him on to...
Landon will go cash it.

But, I get that Internet forum posters have agendas.

I’m sorry you think I would shill for either the ATROCIOUS Wells Fargo or the strip-mall developers over at FoS for a simple buck (or even all the money in the world). But you got the wrong hombre.

If Wells Fargo paid me enough, I would be happy to be "a shill" for Mexico. I love the country and people, just usually not the soccer team.

I became a fan of El Tri while at SDSU, couldn’t afford cable and so most of my sports was coming from across the border. Still, I wouldn’t do anything for WF, for example... Also, if he had just one example of doing this, then I get it, maybe you could overlook it, but two or three and you start to see a trend.

A man once asked a woman he met at a party if she who consider “sleeping” with him for $1M...she thought about it for a moment, thinking about everything $1M could buy, and then agreed to his terms...he then asked her if she would “sleep” with him for $1.00...she replied “of course not...what type of girl do you think I am?”...to which he replied “we’ve already established what kind of girl you are...now we’re just negotiating the price” People sell out their principles each and every day...working in a job they hate...representing products that they know are bad...prescribing drugs that they know that don’t help patients...members of Congress that support a president who advocates racism, misogyny, and class ware fare all in the name of God... Then there are people who have a moral compass...who live life with a higher purpose without selling their soul..who dedicate themselves to making the world a slightly better place... Which one of these people are you?... If you say both...then you’re just negotiating the price

He is one of the main front men for Soccer City... This just cements the fact he will support any cause so long as he is getting paid. He has lost any credibiity with a large majority of the public and is getting skewered on social media as I type this.

It's 15 years or so after the fact, but better late than never.
