Landon Donovan has lately been complaining that his passion for Soccer "has faded" at times. The 44 438 fans who attended the USA-Scotland match at Everbank Stadium in Jacksonville, had to be thinking "if his passion for football has faded, I've got to see him when his passion is full on", as he scored a hat trick, that led the USA to a 5-1 blowout win in the first of five matches between now and June 12, the last two of which are the beginning of 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
Donovan wasted no time striking quickly, as he scored his first of the match only 3 minutes in from his own rebound then scored off a pass from Jermaine Jones in the 60th, and Michael Bradley in the 65th. In addition to that, he easily could have had a 4th, when he hit the goal post. Now, I admit the Scots are not that great, as they failed to qualify for Euro 2012, but they still are a respectable side, and this is easily the best performance under Jurgen Klinsmann to date.
