Trinity Rodman had been a major absence on the field. Fresh off winning gold at the Paris Olympics, the Washington Spirit forward faced a series of challenges, from injuries to a heartbreaking end to the 2024 NWSL campaign. Not to mention, her entire vacation and pre-season were spent recovering. But as she finally made an emphatic return—both domestically and internationally—it was only natural for Landon Donovan to remind everyone of the “nightmare” that players and rival teams are now set to face.
In fact, who better than the former interim boss of San Diego Wave to do so? Having witnessed the kind of threat the estranged daughter of Dennis Rodman proves to be on the field, Donovan had to step forward and give a special commendation to the forward. As compiled by BR Football, the former US Men’s National Team striker said, “She is an absolute nightmare to defend, and she’s only going to get better.”

Notably, Donovan took charge of the Waves in the summer of 2024, after their head coach Casey Stoney was shockingly dismissed from her duties. Under the English boss who now coaches the Canadian women’s national team, Alex Morgan’s ex-team ended up enduring a seven-game winless streak at the start of the campaign.
