SAN DIEGO (AP) — Landon Donovan expects to experience a brief moment of nostalgia and gratitude when he drives past his bronze statue at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, on Tuesday. Then it’ll be time to get to work. Donovan will coach his San Diego Loyal against the team he once starred for, the LA Galaxy of the MLS, in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. It’ll be the biggest match in the Loyal’s three-year history. It probably wasn’t totally a coincidence that the second-division Loyal drew the Galaxy in the U.S. Open Cup.
