— -- Even outside the game, Landon Donovan is a good sport.

Donovan, 32, lounges on the couch in his bathrobe, muttering, "I'm not going to Brazil..." before laughing at himself in a hilarious clip posted on YouTube today. In reality, Donovan won't have that much time for sulking -- he was hired as a commentator by ESPN.

Donovan, whose drop from the World Cup roster shocked fans, appears to be taking the burn in stride.
