Landon Donovan caused a minor stir on Tuesday night when he celebrated Abby Wambach’s role in the USWNT’s run to the World Cup final with a Tweet some perceived as a shot at USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Donovan joined The Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday to talk USWNT, but also to clear the air in a sense, saying he knew right after Tweeting it that people might take it the wrong way.
