Landon Moves On

The worst-kept secret in this brief history of MLS was confirmed today: the league's posterboy, Landon Donovan, will return to German club Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen could definitely use his skill, as the team sits 11th (of 18) in the Bundesliga. There will be a lot of debate about whether Donovan should make the move or remain in the US and help grow MLS. To be honest, he's pretty much done it all in the States: he led San Jose to two MLS Cups, was a multi-time All-Star, and has become a major player for the US national team. Going to Germany can only improve his game and further elevate the status of MLS in Europe.
