Three Years Ago Today, Landon Donovan Scored His Dramatic Goal Against Algeria

Landon Donovan’s goal seems like an eternity go. It was just three years ago today. How long ago from my perspective? I had not started writing here yet, and like many of you, had to take a long lunch from an office job to catch the game. We had tab in hand ready to hurry back before we were missed too much when the bar erupted in jubilation. Great moment, great goal, and an illustration of the fine line between disappointment and history.
