“You talk so much sh*t about every other young upcoming player in the past but yourself.” 😳 Eddie Johnson has hit out his former USMNT teammate Landon Donovan over recent comments about the young American players. Donovan explained caution with Cavan Sullivan and the young USMNT squad last week on Unfiltered Soccer podcast. He said he’s seen many stories of Americans who were hyped as teenagers and failed to reach their potential. He then gave Freddy Adu, Santino Quaranta, Gio Reyna, and Eddie Johnson as examples. Eddie Johnson has now responded on Instagram. “I can’t speak for Freddy Adu or Santino Quaranta or Gio Reyna but I will speak for myself Landon Timothy Donovan,” he wrote. “You talk so much sh*t about every other young upcoming player in the past but yourself lol why don’t we talk about the five years you were in Germany and failed and ran back to MLS bc you weren’t good enough? Why don’t we speak about this? “One of the best considerably players in our country failed in Europe early in his career no one killed him but he’s killing all these young players that have done more then he ever has done in Europe. “I got time today. You played in a World Cup, I played in a World Cup. You played in a U-17 World Cup, U-20 World Cup, and Olympics. I did the same. “What makes you different than a kid from Bunnell, Florida? “I did everything you did with fewer opportunities and still considered one of the best strikers this country has seen!!” Eddie Johnson played for the USMNT from 2004 to 2014, scoring 19 goals in 63 games. He’s two years younger than Donovan, and played many times together with him— including in the 2006 World Cup.
