Landon Donovan has spent enough time venting his frustration at missing out on the final cut for the U.S. national team’s roster. Now, he’s embracing it with complete hilarity.
Donovan, in an ad for EA Sports’ 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, is shown in an apartment at complete ease on gameday, rocking a pair of USA slippers and torching Germany as himself while playing the game.
