Because most international footballers don't do "testimonials" to end their career for country. Pele did, but he's, y'know, fucking Pele. But I can't find record of Diego, Beckenbauer, Zico, Zidane, Cruyff, or any other player of that calibre having a send-off in that fashion.

My issue with Donovan is that he wants it both ways. He wants to be the poster boy for mental health in the game, but he also seems to want a great deal of attention and praise lavished upon him. And yes, he deserves a fair bit of it. But then again, I'm one of those people that HATED the Jeter farewell tour this year.
