He wasn't just lucky. He was the one who set up the play and came in to clean up the garbage after helping to bring about a successful counter attack...

I thought he was really good on 'The Shield'.

I heard that same thing said in 2002 when he first became famous. 8 years later he is even more famous....

I'm assuming you meant no American soccer player is a superstar. Because otherwise you're simply blind.

I still disagree with you about that. Donovan is a super star.
The network says it was the biggest online audience for a sporting event, beating the Duke-Butler NCAA championship basketball game on a Monday night from earlier this year
The television audience size for Wednesday's soccer game was impressive enough. It would have been enough to land the game in last week's prime-time Nielsen Co. top 10 -- highly unusual for a weekday morning. Univision's telecast of that game added 2.4 million viewers for an overall ESPN-Univision viewership of 8.6 million viewers.

At one point, 1.7 million people were logged on to the general ESPN.com website to check score updates and other news. Some 650,000 people watched the game on mobile devices. Both are figures that haven't been reached before, ESPN said.
