Only two matches were played this weekend in England, as bad weather forced most of the schedule to be postponed. While the winter weather delayed a lot of soccer, it brought out the best in the American contingent playing in England’s top division. On Saturday, Landon Donovan made his Everton […]
U.S. international Landon Donovan started today in his first match for Everton and assisted on his squad’s first goal in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal. Donovan created Leon Osman’s goal in the 12th minute with a curving cross on a corner kick from the right side. (Watch the goal here.) […]
Rants and raves (but mostly rants) about following a 2nd division team. Saturday’s FA Cup tie with Liverpool was especially enticing for me because not only would we be playing the storied Reds, but that I would also get to watch the game on TV. A draw against a major […]
