Donavan seems in pretty much all ways 100% improved from his shoddy World Cup performance. There, he looked hesitant, unsure of himself, and lacked any confidence to run at anyone. He'd just pass it away, and disappeared from the field. I thought he was a goner for sure, a victim of his own lack of confidence in deciding he couldn't cut it in Europe and heading home for the US. But so far this year he is a new man! I'm not ready to jump back on his bandwagon yet, but he's done a lot to disprove my opinion of him. I hope he keeps this newfound confidence and lives up to the promise he showed back in 2002!
