Donovan yearns to shine on world stage

Landon Donovan is considered the best American soccer player of all time but he still yearns to leave an indelible mark on the world stage.
It has been a hectic year for Donovan who, after a row with his L.A. Galaxy team mate David Beckham, followed the England international’s example and opted for a loan spell in Europe.
While Beckham’s period with AC Milan ended in an injury which has ruled him out of the World Cup, Donovan enjoyed a successful spell with Everton which further enhanced his reputation.
After failing to make the grade in Germany, where Donovan had two spells with Bayer Leverkusen and a brief loan with Bayern Munich, the Californian’s success at Goodison Park showed he definitely had what it took to be a top player outside the United States.
“The experience was a priceless one for me. The games were always fast and ultra-competitive and my time there certainly made me a better player,” he said.
