VIDEO: Landon Donovan Ignores World Cup for FIFA 2014 Game in Funny EA Ad

If you don't know much about soccer (and if you're an American male, the odds are fairly high that those ranks include you), then it's likely that the one American-born soccer player you could name would be Landon Donovan.

And with USA Soccer ready to face Ghana in their World Cup opener Monday, Donovan would usually be preparing for the big game — that is, if he hadn't been left off the 2014 national squad by USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

So what does the U.S. team's all-time scoring and assist leader do when he's NOT gonna play for the national squad?  Well, he's apparently playing 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil on his Xbox, according to a funny new ad from EA.

As pointed out by Crave sports site NESN, it's nice to see Donovan has a sense of humor about what's got to be a fairly painful snub.
