Laurie: Let me explain my problem with Landon’s decision making. It is that Landon markets himself or allows himself to be marketed as the face of US Soccer, not the face of the LA Galaxy. If that is how he wants to be viewed and perceived, then he needs to be a leader in tough situation for the USMNT, which the Copa America certainly is. If he wants to just support LA, that’s fine, but don’t try market yourself as the representative soccer player of the USA, just be the representative soccer player of LA. Then I’d be cool with it. Until then, it feels dishonest.
