Today, the US Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) faced Ghana in their first game of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but they did it without Landon Donovan, America’s all-time leading goal scorer and widely considered one of the Nation’s best ever players. The controversial decision to leave Landon out has left a nation asking, how will the USMNT fare without him and besides appearing on ESPN, how has Landon been dealing with not going to Brazil?
