#5 Landon Donovan – USA

Landon Donovan retired from International Football in 2014 and is widely been regarded as the USA’s greatest footballer. For the US men's national team, Donovan is the all-time leader in scoring and assisting and is also the second-most-capped player.
Donovan is also the only American player to reach the 50 goals and 50 assists mark. The former LA Galaxy captain has scored 57 goals, but his goals-per-game ratio pales in comparison to Lalpekhlua’s.
Donovan’s 57 goals in 157 internationals came at a rate of 0.36 per game. If Lalpekhlua goes on to play as many matches for India as Donovan did for the USA, he will cross his goal-scoring record easily.
