U.S. soccer icon Landon Donovan is pretty much the coolest dad ever, strapping his newborn son to his chest and playing keepie-ups with a ball to a gaggle of giggles.

"Preparations for World Cup 2038 are underway" Donovan wrote on his official Instagram account, as his son watched on and laughed each time the ball was sent bouncing in front of him.

It's adorable, but it's important to remember that Donovan is a professional footballer (or ... was) and as such, trying this yourself is probably not recommended, lest the poor little guy or gal fall victim to that one keep-up you "totally had" but instead mistakenly kicked into your child's face.
