While English pretty boy David Beckham continues to toy with the emotions of each and every American soccer fan over his decision (indecision?) to return to Los Angeles this spring, his Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan will do the right thing and come back to MLS.

After spending a good chunk of the winter with Bayern Munich in Germany, Lando will return to the Galaxy next week after finishing up his loan deal. While Beckham was kicking it around in Italy with AC Milan, Donovan played six games for Bayern Munich since joining the club in January. Although he didn't have a stellar time there, Lando picked up some much needed experience that he can use at the Galaxy/USMNT this year.

"I am very excited to be returning home to my teammates and the LA Galaxy," said Lando. "I would like to thank Bayern Munich for the opportunity to play with one of the premier clubs in Europe, as well as all their coaches and players for welcoming me into the club... I am fit, motivated and excited to be coming back as a better, more experienced player."

Beckham could learn a few things from the USMNT star when it comes to making a commitment. Lando knows the fans here love him and that playing in MLS boosts the American game. On the other hand, Beckham, who touted himself as a "soccer missionary" much like Pele did with the New York Cosmos during the 1970's, has no love for the game in this country.

Lando made a patriotic choice to help MLS grow, while making sure he remains available to U.S. coach Bob Bradley. For that, he's a great American.
