Landon Donovan will get to say goodbye. And so will the fans.
Landon Donovan will make one last appearance for the United States. The 32-year-old, who announced that he would retire from the sport after the MLS season, will play for the Stars and Stripes on October 10 against Ecuador in a final farewell for the country's all-time leading scorer and assist man.
The match, at Rentschler Field in Hartford, CT, will be the Americans' first home match since the World Cup and first home match since Donovan said he would be calling it quits. That the contest is right down the street from ESPN's Bristol headquarters is probably not a coincidence either, as the Worldwide Leader will get to televise Donovan's going away party with all the pomp and circumstance he deserves.
