The land of Volkswagons and Heidi Klum




So it's finally final. Our man-boy Landon Donovan is off to the german league. More specifically off to join Bayern Munich on loan. Sounds like a good deal for everyone involved. Donovan gets a third crack at Europe to see if he really has what it takes to play with the big boys (crystal ball says no). The Galaxy and the MLS don't lose one of their "star players", but they still get a bit off a publicity pop on the international stage.

However I don't really see this having any short term benefits for the USMNT, I think Donovan is at a point in his career where the player he is now is the player he's going to be. The idea that just playing beside Lucca Toni and Frank Ribery is somehow supposed to transform him into an elite player on the international level feels like a bit of a reach.

In short, dinosaur pope approves of this loan deal

Dino Pope looks a lot like the snake James Earl Jones' character turns into in Conan The Destroyer.
