Landon Donovan's 'Sweet' South Bay Spots LANDON DONOVAN lives in Los Gatos and says "sweet" a lot. He admits that he hasn't been around much due to commitments with the national team and traveling with the Quakes. Still, he's lived in the South Bay long enough to explore and come up with a list of his favorite things. After home games, the team usually heads over to Britannia Arms and then to his house for video games and milk and cookies. When reminded he was only 20, and some of the places he mentions require 21-and-over IDs, he replied, "You can go during the day." Yeah, and I'm Rivaldo. 1.
