Position: Winger, Forward.

Alas, the curtain call is upon us. Donovan has been on the receiving end of many records and awards for both club and country. Below are some of the myriad of record and accolades he has won.

All-time USMNT Goalscorer, all-time USMNT assists leader, 2nd all-time in USMNT caps, most World Cup goals by a USMNT player, most MLS career goal, all-time MLS assists leader. five MLS Cups in six appearances (Sunday will be his seventh appearance), most MLS playoff goals, t-2nd all-time playoffs assist leader, seven MLS Best XI appearances, four Gold Cup Best XI appearances, two Supporters’ Shields, one US Open Cup, and four Gold Cup titles in six appearances. Impressively, this isn’t even half of the awards he’s won over his career.

So yes, any player this influential making his last appearance as a professional ever. It will be worth watching as he ties his cleats and takes the field for one final time. Also, if the Galaxy win on Sunday, Donovan will have more MLS Cup titles than any other MLS players.
