Landon Donovan said finishing fourth at his only Olympics “will forever haunt me” and that “it would make a great story” if his 2000 Olympic teammate Tim Howard makes the Rio Olympic team.
Earlier this week, Donovan reflected on his lone Olympic appearance as an 18-year-old with blond hair in Sydney. He was the youngest member of the U.S. team that finished fourth, losing to Spain and Chile in medal matches.
“My fondest memory is knowing that we had a chance to win a medal,” Donovan said. “It will forever haunt me. I’m a massive sports fan in general.
