🚨 Landon Donovan didn’t hold back on the state of U.S. soccer:
“2002 World Cup is the furthest the men have ever been… we have only won one knockout game in our history. That’s pretty alarming. We’re not developing players like the rest of the world.”
“The bigger problem is our youth soccer in this country is a disaster… It’s all about winning. The kids get left behind because the clubs want to make money, the coaches want to make money… and the kids don’t develop.”
On the post-16/17 pathway:
“If you’re 16, 17 and you haven’t made it, you kind of fall into this abyss.”
His bottom line:
“I want to give the game back to kids.”

When the last video store in Pocatello, Idaho, closed its doors, the owner was more concerned about his most loyal customer than the dwindling revenue. That customer was Christina, 35, a woman with Down syndrome, who visited the store daily to rent a movie. Understanding how crucial this routine was for her happiness, he decided to create “Christina’s Corner” to ensure that her cherished ritual wouldn’t be disrupted. @CBSMornings
