Landon Donovan is the US team's attacking catalyst, and as Grahame Jones of the LA Times reports, when Donovan is on, the US team is at it's best.If the USA manages to get a result in Mexico City it will likely be thanks to Landon Donovan. The USA is 7-1-2 against Mexico in the 10 games that Donovan has played and 4-0-0 in games in which he has scored against Mexico.
Donovan, the USA's all-time scoring leader with 41 goals in 115 international games, watched the USA's 5-0 loss to Mexico last month in the Gold Cup final from his home in Manhattan Beach, Calif. "I thought the first half we played pretty well," he said. "We put some pressure on them, had some decent chances." The USA then fell apart after Mexico's first goal, in the second half.
