While I agree, it was something that was bought up between some of my buddies when trying to figure why Landon decided to come back now. With a 1 1/2 contract with LA, the timing leads him right up to the end of the WC qualifying for 2018, so it was a very interesting perceptive brought up in conversation.
So was it a case of a player retiring due more to burnout and tried of battling with coaches/systems, then being done with the game as an athlete? Landon and Klinnsman do not get along, the UMNT needs to get younger and give those players time between now and 2018 WC to gain more experience so unless Landon is looking at a mentor roll, I think this is a case of a guy that retired when he wasn't ready, just burnt out and frustrated.
