Using Rado's theorem for the existence of an independent transversal
of family of subsets of a set on which a matroid is defined, we give a
proof of Landau's theorem for the existence of a tournament with a
prescribed degree sequence. A similar approach is used to determine
when a partial tournament can be extended to a tournament with a
prescribed degree sequence.
