Landon Donovan Relishes Championship Chase

By any measure, Landon Donovan has already had a very successful year. There was the perception-altering loan to Everton in January, the Supporters Shield-winning campaign with the Los Angeles Galaxy, and of course, those three goals at the World Cup.

He's played 51 games this year. He's exhausted. In a Wednesday conference call, he admitted that recovering physically and emotionally from the World Cup, then pouring himself into the remainder of the MLS season wasn't easy.

"Physically you have to get your body to a place where you're able to sustain the rest of the year," he said. "I had to be smart about it, and fortunately I've had the experience of having gone through this twice before, and (L.A. coach Bruce Arena) has the experience with me and knowing what my body needs."
