Landon Donovan's Gold Cup Adventure of Epic Broportions

Landon Donovan is with the U.S. National team as they crisscross the country on their Gold Cup campaign, which means it's time for another epic adventure like his English and World Cup spectaculars last year. The following is Landon's correspondence with his friends and family back home in California.

Brahskis,

Whats lush? Im just out here taking a break from from thatCalifornia sunshine so I could get my Gold Cup stuntshine on. Off to an illstart. The boys dropped a 2-nil on the hockey-bronis from Canada in game 1. Had tolisten to mad Eminem to get jacked up because we were in Detroit. Epic pregameplaylist. Once the earbuds were out we just dominated those kids. They cantjust come out here thinking its gonna be the Stanley cup finals all over againand their gonna be dangling the twig and puck making us all look like fools. Noshot. This is soccer, Americas game since LD started putting in work. Theyhave like one good player, Dwyane De Brosario, that guy loves pulling up fromdeep and trying to rip twine for the people. Hes got mad steeze on his goaldance too. Trying to translate those moves to the bar scene and put it down onsome mamis..

Anyway. Weve got a little lay-off here until the nextmatchski. Were beating Panama in 3 days. Should be a classic Fraturday. Allthe boys out and flyin' around knockin' g-notes in. Bud bottles after the gamefor sure. If youre not on board you better get with the program, son. In themean time were straight chaying in Tampa. This place is actually pretty legit,theyve got nudie bars on like every other bloc! k. So ye ah, were just gonnachill it and kill it for awhile here, were all pretty much just waiting forthe final vs the mexibros anyway. That Little Pee bro thinks hes got someserious swag droppin hat-tricks and ish. Gonna have to remind that youngin' thatCONCACAF is still mine. I run this. Im the bro-president of this entire thing on the reg. Youknow what it is.

Peace out. One love.
