Donovan is considered by many to be the greatest American soccer player of all time. He is the leading goal scorer for the United States in the World Cup and the all time leading goal scorer in the MLS.

His career did end on a bit of a down note, however, as he was cut from the World Cup team this year.

Donovan didn’t make the World Cup team this year but his impact on the sport is still undeniable. The hashtag #thanksLD has been trending all afternoon as fans bid farewell to their favorite soccer player.
