Landon Donovan Fantastic Goal 2-0 - USA vs Brazil - Confederations Cup Final 2009

[stackoleebillylions]

This is the best counter attack in US soccer history maybe the best display of skill. A total of 5 touches by 3 players.

[MMAmachinhead92]

@MrBigBigbigBalls Really though, "American hillbilly"? Now that's not correct, is it? If you're fine with it then you wouldn't mind if I called you a "Brazilian monkey", would you?

[aminoair]

Rooney is better

[MMAmachinhead92]

It's one of a kind when you see Donovan break the ankles of a Brazilian defender. Marvelous.

[MultipleXposures]

Im a firm believer we're better when Charlie Davies is on the pitch...

[Miike424Miller]

Hey listen guys, brasil is the best national team in history so don't be shoked if you see this happen. From 2-0 to 3-2!

[wendy1298]

Landon Donovan is the Superman of E.U.A.

[wildbolt102]

wait wait wait? first tell me did U.S.A won that game vs brazil? and if they did how come mexico won vs U.S.A and lost vs .Brazil? i dont get it?

[bigjcrl]

brazil is full of ass lickers so shut the F up. Your whole country smells of shit and AIDS.

[malumello17]

@bigjcrl hahahaha bad loser...

anyway... Here is south america stupid american..not Africa!

[SgtLima]

We are the best in football, and in MMA, WE invented BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU, we bit even american at octagon, so MORE RESPECT WITH BRAZIL, we are in the 7th economy of the world, LEARN MORE AMERICANS.

[07andari]

Haha i cant wait to see usa get slaughtered in this upcoming worldcup haha. -FFLANF97

[MrKaicyr]

@07andari why so much hate? 

[pablorgs8]

i remember watching this.!..Usa did good. BRAZIL FTW!!.

[dirtybunny987]

This was really an incredible Goal.

Only Landon could pull that one off he started the run and he finished it by scoring

[alfino116]

thumbs up if you think dempsey is better.

[GregoryJamesssssssss]

I'm sorry but his celebration of pointing at himself and saying "me" over and over kind of took away from the moment for me. Yes it was an amazing goal and effort on Donovan's half, but he wasn't the only one to set it up.

[Hitmonchan107]

@GregoryJamesssssssss Maybe he was pointing at his shirt.

[dirtybunny987]

@GregoryJamesssssssss He wasnt saying me me me and it hink he was pointing at his US shirt a lot of players do that when they score a goal lol

[fabriciamenezessanto]

brazil was tired first half lol and thats how second brazil easily made 3 goals

[MMAmachinhead92]

All three of Brazil's goal were cheap, tap-in goals. Signifying the defense wasn't exactly great.

[goingplaces11]

I've watched this so many times lol.

[jerel42]

Brazil is much, much better than we are. I told my friends at halftime that Brazil probably wins 3-2. The US team simply woke Brazil up. All that said, we have improved *so* much over the years, that now even Brazil can't take us for granted.

[CramireCca]

Come on Brazil you could have let us have this

[alamos92]

they can beat brazil and spain but lose against panama??? :O

[alamos92]

@alamos92 my bad i forgot brazil came back in this game

[PepperDr94]

1.) Clint Dempsey 2.) Landon Donovan

[ZippyMaGiiKzz]

lol too bad brazil won 3 -2 haha

[NatrualAdrian]

I am from Germany i am Bayern Munichfan but hes defently my favorite player

[MMAmachinhead92]

The reason the USMNT lost this game is because of the mediocre defense. Onyewu and Demerits aren't good...or at least anymore they aren't. The US has good potential CB's in store for them. George John, Ike Opara and Omar Gonzalez are the future of the backline.

[northwoodx64]

O MY GOD Estados unidos eterno fregues UAEHUAHEUHAEUHAUAHEUAEUH

[martyaj13]

then brazil beat them 3-2 :(

[V3GAdigi1]

fuck brazil's over rated team.. GO USA! :)

[raul003]

he was like.. "MEEEEEEEEEE!!...MEEEEEEEEEEEE­!!" lmao

[soccerskilj]

That is a perfect counter attack. The Germans couldnt have done it better! My God that was a blitzkrieg! Done to perfection! Too bad we couldnt hold the lead.

[hipopotamos878]

im a mexican but this its one of my 2 favorite playerss

[okifeelthat]

I can watch this goal all damn day

[Tswiftfanlover]

Whoaa !!! Landon !!! Thats rite bi*ches !! USA USA USA

[loishota3]

Fucking love the #10 jersey players... ozil, wayne, Robben and Donovan are my freaking heroes

[MMAmachinhead92]

@whdamicis34 Thanks....grammar police? Maybe someone needs to get up from their chair and unstiffen up something? :)

[tha117eXez]

that's a rather FAST WHITE MAN

[infinteuniverse]

Interesting, the entire play took about 12 seconds, from the first through ball to Donoavn to the finishing goal.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

hey this is fake. BRAZIL WON USA. 3-2 FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa

[xXCoDxSnipezorXx]

Great pass by Davies and great finish by Donovan.

[01urusai]

i don't like the usa but that was a sexy goal

[1flexalex1]

he has a pretty big head

[mehdiamerbarca]

est contre - attack

[iloveABP]

Is Landon Donovan the fastest white boy you have ever seen or what?

[oopticom]

@iloveABP Gareth Bale. 

[PepperDr94]

HOW did we lose??????

[DonCapoeira]

@PepperDr94 We were playing Brazil.

[PepperDr94]

@DonCapoeira -_-

[NCIS216]

@PepperDr94 brazil came back and kick our ass 3-2

[PepperDr94]

@NCIS216 3-2 isnt an ass kicking dude.....

[VTRaider202]

@PepperDr94 Under normal circumstances no, it isnt. But when youre up 2-0 and then lose to three goals in a row then it is indeed an ass kicking.

[PepperDr94]

@VTRaider202 It was a let down. Ass kicking refers to losing by a bitch load. In this case, we lost by only a goal. If it was 6-2 thennnnn I would have agreed.

[Konformation07]

@VTRaider202 Brazil finally woke up. That's what happened. The manager I bet laid in to the team and told them to stop taking us lightly. Then they stopped and our only possible advantage was gone. When they scored the first goal I knew it was over.

[Noelair]

@PepperDr94 That's what im saying



[happydonutX12]

@PepperDr94 I saw this live and it was a amazing match against Brazil. We had the first half by 2-0, but Brazil got us back on the second half with 2-3. I was really close, I still wished we won.

[PepperDr94]

@happydonutX12 Atleast they beat Spain (:

[Kaifan01]

@PepperDr94 That's soccer dude. America lost that game the same way it bounced back against Slovenia the following year at the world cup (& it should've won that game if it wasn't for the stupid referee).

[PepperDr94]

@Kaifan01 I know dude :\ if the dont do somethign with the fucking reffs in 2014, im going to go MENTAL!

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@PepperDr94 wtf?...what i meant about "us" i was referring to the" united states" obviously you knew what i meant you know it all. Dont hate Cause we beat the USA..Dam .USA team was to cocky,paybacks a bitch.

[PepperDr94]

@MrBigBigbigBalls I know what you said. I was stating that your English sucks. It's "they had 2 WE had 3" NOT "they had 2 us had 3" that sounds like a 4 yer old talking. I dont know what all this "payback" is about because we beat the #1 TEAM IN THE WORLD 2-0 in the SAME tournament. Did you beat Spain? NO. So I rest my case.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@PepperDr94 WDF "we" could be anyone. u missunderstood my statement. "did you beat spain" No bitch i didnt. its "Did brazil beat spain"

and as matter of fact Brazil did. Brazil with 4goals and spain 2 with two.So before u talk shitt look it up.

and btw brazil is number one mofo. (-- Proven fact in football history.

And btww spain is not "NUMBER 1" just because they won the worldcup once.to be more pecific BRAZIL is number one. U american hillbilly .

[PepperDr94]

@MrBigBigbigBalls You as in Brazil you fuck! Yuo knew EXACTLY what I meant! Now youre just being retarded. Spain IS #1 you inbreed! Fifa . com / worldranking/index.html SO FUCK OFF!

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@PepperDr94 WDF GTFO GO DIE GO FALL IN A DITCH. bitch u dont know shit.u know how to talk some though.and no.u sound like a mental so stfu and stop messaging back.

[PepperDr94]

@MrBigBigbigBalls You messaged me you sad FUCK! America shouldnt have lost. That was my point. Then you came in with your worthless shit. Fuck off! If I was you, I would try to figure out who my real parents were instead of continuing on youtube. Adopted uneducated fuck. Get lost.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@PepperDr94 how did i message you dumb ,read thru the whole shit, your the one who messaged me.Go Back to handfishing Hillbilly.

[pablorgs8]

@MrBigBigbigBalls Rofl to Handfishing

[vZiigy]

@MrBigBigbigBalls I just read through the whole argument. Pepper was right, you misunderstood him and now you have top comment because people dont care enough to see what was really said. I'm not arguing, but he actually had a point...

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@vZiigy how did i misunderstand him wth?, he was talking about how my english sucks,thats how it all started. like wtf?.

[RICH08XX]

@MrBigBigbigBalls Actually you stupid fuck. Look at the current FIFA rankings and you will see that Spain are #1 and Brazil are #6. So to be 'pecific' 'go look it up before you talk shit'. Fucking ignorant cunt.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@RICH08XX listen,their only number one for a short time because they won the wc.Before u talk shit, look who won more wc in soccer history,learn ur facts.. . go in die.

[RICH08XX]

@MrBigBigbigBalls It doesn't matter what they have won. Brazil have not been #1 since may 2010 and they were only there for a few months. Spain have been #1 or #2 since July 2008, while Brazil have dropped to #6 in that time.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@RICH08XX ha,funny how brasil beat them this year 4-2..:]

[packers256]

@MrBigBigbigBalls Retype that like a normal person, please. Your spelling/grammar is fucking terrible. You presented 0 facts in that statement...Right now Spain is better than anyone else in the world. Yes, I'm American.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@packers256 lmfao wdf bitch..if it was ing terrible u wouldnt have understand it stupid ass bitch. yea spain is the best right now. but not overall. u just cant admit mofo.., jus cause brazil beat ur ugly ass team.their not the best if their losing to other countries right now. they probably won the wc. but they didnt when the fans heart at soccers best.so gtfo u in hillbilly.

[packers256]

@MrBigBigbigBalls You are right...now I can't understand you.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@packers256 huh?..wow ur hella stupid..its obvious u can understand me if you read my sentence saying " if it was terrible you wouldnt have understand it"...wow..u lame mofo. go do something in life..really..

[packers256]

@MrBigBigbigBalls How old are you? You act like an 8 year old...and an immature one at that. Go do something in life? I'm on a full scholarship at a great university with a good-looking career ahead of me. You?

[Hitmonchan107]

@MrBigBigbigBalls FIFA states otherwise.

[kjell1632]

@MrBigBigbigBalls Yeah, calling someone a hillbilly is how you win an argument. All it does is make you sound like an ass. I'm from America and believe me, some people are "hillbillies", but it isn't many. Every country has idiots. Spain at the time (and still is) ranked number one in the world by fifa, so saying Spain is number one isn't wrong, when they drop from the number one ranking it will be.

[command76]

@MrBigBigbigBalls Spain is number 1 in world rankings with the netherlands and germany closing the gap and in hot pursuit. And the US has a pretty good club, I'd say they are better than their ranking.

[iGotUrLimeSoda]

@MrBigBigbigBalls American hillbilly? Haha, I love this because your comment is fucking retarded. What's your IQ I wonder? Your grammar and spelling is terrible.

[itsthatOMB]

@MrBigBigbigBalls shut up at the moment spain is number one , and coming up is germany, brazil hs been crap for the last 8 years , they couldnt even beat paraguay in penalties CA 2011, dont even count your 3 flinstones world cups you favela scum

[DevilBadger25]

@itsthatOMB Hey bro you are having a conversation with an "internet tough guy" a "keyboard warrior" if you will. He most likely is some pencil necked kid who gets picked on and this is his outlet from the real world where he can try to feel big. Just pity him, maybe laugh at him a bit, and move on with your day.

[DevilBadger25]

@MrBigBigbigBalls @MrBigBigbigBalls ....wow where to begin lets start with your sheer ignorance using stereotypes. Do you even know what the term hillbilly pertains to? Probably not. You really have no right to look down on anyone when your rants look like you had an epileptic seizure on the keyboard. One can just look at your name and know what you are all about. A massive inferiority complex and no education. Your life revolves around trying to be a hard ass behind a computer screen. Epic Fail

[Hitmonchan107]

@PepperDr94 Our defense fucked up and we got cocky.

[DanielHenriqueMagic]

he kill ramires and julio cesar.

nice goal. nice player



[maximusmagnanimus100]

Landon Donovan is the revelation of the MLS striker of recent times, is a scorer to take into account forever.

[orye74]

Thumbs up if you agree that he is the best American player ever.

[MrMaidenARG]

@orye74 He certainly is, as he is also the only world class player is the history of USA's football.

[Kaifan01]

I think this goal by Donovan is his greatest goal ever. Great skills, impressive speed, & it's against the great Brazilian team. I don't know why he thinks his goal against Algeria is his greatest.

[kimjack1000]

@Kaifan01

Cause it was the World Cup with 100's of millions watching. This is the Confederations Cup... a grand accomplishment but the Confederations Cup only exists to reward you with entry into the World Cup.

[felbaba1991]

@Kaifan01 2 things. Look up the goal that won him the MLS goal of 2009. It was outside of the box, left footed, finessed volley. Just absolutely gorgeous goal. And the goal against Algeria was what placed america as #1 in their group. In addition, allowed them to proceed in the world cup. It was literally a last second goal. No other goal will be more important in his career and almost no other goal was more important in the whole last WC.

[ECGELSV]

if united states was soo good at the 2009 confederation cup then why did they lose 2-4 againist mexico?

[ejmembreno]

@ECGELSV because the coach is an utter moron.

[lssj5broly1]

@ECGELSV well the USA was playing better than mexico,until steve cherundolo got injured, then bradly put bornstein in who pretty much fu**** it up for the usa,if you watch the highlights you will see that bornstein was defending very poorly,and it was pretty much because of him why mexico scored all there goals.

[Kaifan01]

@lssj5broly1 Indeed, I only Knew Bornstein from last year's world cup. The team is pretty awesome. But Bornstein was the weakest link!

[heyitsrenay]

@Kaifan01 Bornstein IS the weakest link. He costed us the gold cup. Not hating on him, but there are plenty of guys better than bornstein

[Marcusagomes10]

But they still lost...show the end results not the first few minutes in the lead...

[lssj5broly1]

these were the good times...oneywu was healthy and fit,no knee problems,demerit was also great,davies was playing well,good times

now the US mens is a mess davies was in a car crash,oneywu has knee problems,and we lost 4-2 against mexico,cherundolo got injured,and bradly put in bornstein who did a horrible job at defending, the 2014 world cup will be a disaster

[Gshock713]

how does USA tie with england, beat brazil, and loose 2 ghana?

[49ERSiBleed]

@Gshock713 They ended up losing this game 3-2. USA with two beautiful goals though.

[MrBigBigbigBalls]

@Gshock713 they didnt beat brasil. the final was brazil with 3 goals and usa with 2

[TheAtrain817]

amazing goal.... too bad we ended up givin up the lead... embarrassing..

[DouglasHenriq00]

Champion Brazil, but USA played very well in this game.

[basick123]

THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF A PERFECT COUNTER ATTACK MY SON 6YR FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT A COUNTER ATTACK WAS LOL I GUESS HE HAD TO SEE EXACTLY HOW ITS DONE LOL

[LonghornTX1012]

@wwfewcwtnaecw You might be thinking of the semi-final 2-0 win over Spain to get us into the final against Brazil, as impressive of a win in my opinion (well if we would have beaten brazil)

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

I'm so glad this happened. I'm sick of people thinking "HAH PUSSY BASEBALL LOVING AMERICANS THINKING THEY CAN PLAY FOOTBALL". To all these people, Guess again. This video shows that we defeated THE MOST successful nation on the friggin globe. Not just 1 lucky goal. BUT 2 SKILLFUL goals. At least the Brazilians respect us now. now we have to BEAT the current England squad to get some respect from them. Let's go Rob Green! :D

[jarnold139]

@wwfewcwtnaecw we didnt win. brazil wooped our asses in the second half, scoring a goal in less than a minute and then two more to finish us off. either we forgot there were two halves to a match, or brazil only tried the second half. unfortunately, i think it was the latter.

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

@jarnold139 Well, i don't know if it was this match, but there was a point where we beat them 2-0.

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

@lucasandrade6 I KNOW. Read my other comment as a response to what someone else already said.

[lucasandrade6]

@wwfewcwtnaecw sorry

[shega51]

@wwfewcwtnaecw I don't want to rain on your parade but the U.S lost this game 3-2.

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

@shega51 Read my other comments... I know.

[shega51]

@wwfewcwtnaecw then why would you say that we defeated Brazil by 2 skillful goals?

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

@shega51 Did you read my other comments?

[oopticom]

He's quick but Walcott would destroy him

[plafonte]

@oopticom wow a black guy beats a white guy in a race that'd be crazy wouldn't it

[9goalkeeper1]

we lost that match but i think it showed the woirld were no slouch hoinestly i think alot of that lost was cuz of colaose on d partly caused by being worm down by the size of the brazilian team tht nd well yea there a hell of a team

[grandeTO9]

I still don't know how that game got away

[MMAmachinhead92]

@Ribeyeangus The problem is the MLS' asking price for him is a little hefty for the teams that would like to buy him (Everton). It seems only the top four or five teams in the Premier League can afford him. Manchester City wanted to buy him but it's good that he didn't go because they have so many players and he'd probably get little playing time. A team like AC Milan would fit a player like him.

[Ribeyeangus]

Donovan needs to take his skills to place where the world will respect him for what an amazing footballer he is.

[adidassoccer4]

i would like him, if he didnt celebrate by running to the crowds yelling "ME! ME!"

[11xChelsea]

If only they carried this momentum into WC 2010...

[chorchi1119]

@11xChelsea it wasnt their fault all the good players were injured or came back from injury, onyewu, dempsey, holden, davies, so the team wasnt playing well, besides bradley made some stupid ass decisions every time i saw the starting line up i knew we were in for a ride

[mmmodafoca]

WHYYY o WHYY couldn't the US hold off this lead!! after this they should have just planted 8 players in the last line.. like the Mourinho Inter did with Barcelona.. i mean its not a pretty tactic but very effective if perfectly executed. As a Mexican, however, i am glad the US didn't win that way Mexico is the only Concacaf country to win such a tournament. :)

[bn0102]

Great counter attack, in my opinion landon donovan and matias fernandez are the best players in the America!!!!!

[mmmodafoca]

@bn0102 in the americas? oh come on.. don't say such idiot comments man.. i'm sorry for offending.. but IN THE AMERICAS??? DONOVAN AND FERNANDEZ?? WHAT ABOUT MESSI and or name any brazilian playing in the domestic league?? dude there are way better players than those two IN THE AMERICAS.

[bn0102]

@mmmodafoca each with your opinion.......respect me, but when they "emerged" and appeared to the world, were very good!!!!!! if you was the CRISTIANO RONALDO or MESSI could talk, but it is not. patience....

Hakini cerinas!!!!

[neoams100]

Ladies and Gentlemen...I Give You The Perfect Counter Attack

[Jozy17Davies9]

i dream of scoring like that. totally faking out the defender with one touch and then slotting it home with an exquisite finish. gorgeous. and Davies part in that goal was beautiful, i miss his speed.

[tahirmar]

Landon Donovan is awesome!! : )

[BiologicalClock]

It would have been amazing if the US had kept that lead and actually won, instead of getting second. Still, that's a pretty incredible run there. Hope to see more of the same at the Gold Cup if Charlie Davies will be ready again. :)

[orgundet]

esse cara é bom...

[Chudsic]

i think ive watched this video 100 times

[AaronTare]

Arguing like cowards on the internet aside, no matter what player or nationality, this is one of the best goals I have ever seen. From box-to-box, 4 touches, precision passes, got the defender and goalie to guess wrong... Brilliant.

[Datolo551]

@AaronTare your making this goal seem a lot better. its not very hard to do that when your on the run, it was a good shot, nothing uncasual though

[jpizzle12345]

terrible defending by number 18 for brazil, but a classy goal nonetheless.

[m00r3e]

How weird, I watched the whole video without noticing it was in swedish(I'm from Sweden) I just assumed that it was in english and did'nt take notice that it was'nt

[TheYugilicious]

@m00r3e lol

IKEA brainwashed all of you :p :p

[axisdulcis]

swedish commentator!!!

[563985j]

Brazil loosing versus USA?? Impossible :S

[mrkempton95]

@563985j Impossible is nothing...respecting usa from turkey!!

[563985j]

@mrkempton95 then u know that Brazil is a very good team :S

ofc nothing is impossible but im just sayin bro

[jonny9661]

@563985j brazil ended up winning this game with 3-2. 

[fjorded962]
