We had posters of this dude in my elementary school when the world was oh so much smaller and I just assumed he was like the Michael Jordan of soccer but only years later when I looked outside my bubble do I realize this dude could basically only hack it in American soccer.

He could have played in Europe but he made way more playing in MLS.

I never understood why he was put on a pedestal over the other, better players the USA had at the time

I suppose he was just more photogenic than Brad Friedel

He played a bit in Europe.

Wasn't terrible. Clint Dempsey was better.

Recognize the name but couldn't remember anything about him. Looked up him and don't recognize him, either.

Probably the most hated American athlete in Mexico. There is insanely passionate hatred for him there.

Heard the name somewhere in the past. I knew he was a soccer player but that was it.

Why?

Mexico leads all time, but since 2000 (when he debuted), the US leads the series 18-8-9. Donovan was a major part of that.

I know who he is, I've been a USMNT and MLS fan for quite a while.

One of my favorite moments of him is when he was being pelted with garbage by Salvadoran fans, he grabbed a pair of sunglasses that were thrown at him and tried them on. (I can't find a better video)

Never quite understood the strong emotion for him one way or the other. A good player sure, but I never felt I was watching an all time great.
