If you’ve ever played adult soccer as an Angelino, this scenario sounds familiar to you. It’s Sunday morning and you’re still asleep when the phone rings. Your friend hurriedly claims their star forward is in Vegas and can’t make it, but even though you aren’t on the team, can you please head down to Whittier Narrows to help the team out?
Now just pretend that Vegas forward is Gyasi Zardes, and you get a pretty good idea how Landon Donovan ended up in a Galaxy uniform.
It’s official: Landon Donovan, the all-time leader in goals (144) and assists (136), is back in MLS with the Galaxy.
