MLS MVP Robbie Keane predicts that he can continue playing for another four years

LOS ANGELES -- LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane has been a revelation since joining the club midway through the 2011 season, but just how long can the team's influential Irishman keep going?


Keane tallied 19 goals and 14 assists during a banner season withthe Galaxy as he lifted the club to a fourth MLS Cup appearance in just six years. However, at 34 years of age, the Irishman is rapidly bcoming one of the older players in MLS, but don't let that age fool you because he's still going strong. 


Rather than hang up his boots like his teammate Landon Donovan -- who is two years is senior  believes that he can keep on going for at least another four years.


"Listen, you can't predict what is going to happen in the future with injuries and stuff like that Unfortunately, some people have to retire through bad injuries, but if I can keep myself fit then I can keep going] because the motivation is there and the hunger is there," said Keane. "If my legs, I can't help that but I'm going to have that desire and hunger for a long time. 


"I've played with players over the years in England who at a certain age didn't have the hunger to carry on, but that's when people's levels of quality dropped."
