Landon Donovan's time with Everton is nearing its end and while he may want to make an impact in all of his remaning games with the club, this weekend's match might be at the top of his list.

Everton are set to face Chelsea in a match that will pit Donovan against the likes of John Terry, Juan Mata and Florent Malouda.

The German Bundesliga kicks back into full gear this weekend, and with it could come a direct head-to-head duel between a pair of U.S. men's national team players.

Steve Cherundolo and Fabian Johnson could do battle when Hannover 96 and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim resume their Bundesliga campaigns on Saturday.

Jonathan Spector and Birmingham City posted an impressive away win against Wolves to advance in the FA Cup, while Robbie Findley and Nottingham Forest crashed with a loss to Leicester City.

We pick our Camp Cupcake USMNT starting XI to face Venezuela. It will be similar to Klinsmann's selection, just better. We also play a USMNT abroad-themed game of Over/Under with Taylor and give our reactions to Eric Wynalda's already infamous speech and Robbie Findley's seemingly impossible miss.

All of a sudden and as unlikely as it may seem, Forest's Robbie Findley finds himself with some strong competition for the 'rubbish miss of the day' honours in the guise of Zenit striker Danny who really fnarked things up against Bunyodkor in the 2012 Dubai Matchworld Cup last night.

Jack McInerney scored in the US U-23 team's 1–1 draw with the USMNT. McInerney, Amobi Okugo, and Freddy Adu started the first half. Zac MacMath and Sheanon Williams started the second half.

John Hackworth says of Tom Brandt, the Union's first pick in the Supplemental Draft, "We wanted to get a quality player in the back and we feel like we did that with Tom Brandt.

Put this miss down as one for the season. 2 metres out in front of goal and Robbie Findley makes a complete mess after Leicester City's goalie fails to hold onto a cross. Findley's club, Nottingham Forest were humbled by City letting in four goals without scoring any in their FA Cup third round tie.

Leicester deserved to win, probably by more than four goals. In the brief interludes of pressure from the home side Robbie Findley spurned the chance to equalise with an open goal from 2 yards, he somehow put it over. Harewood too should've done better with a later chance [...] Read the original post on Through the seasons before us

Having won just one of their last eight league and cup games, Leicester proceeded to put four past Forest last night. James Bolton reports. There were four changes for Forest's trip to the King Power Stadium for the FA Cup 3rd Round Replay against Leicester. George Boateng, Paul Anderson, Robbie Findley and Andy Reid came [.

Video- Robbie Findley miss vs Leicester FA Cup 2012 Nottm Forest is a post from Soccer Blogger. Follow Soccer Blogger on Twitter This Robbie Findley miss vs Leicester City ( see video of Findley miss Below) was probably one of the misses of the season in the FA Cup so far.

Robbie Findley and Nottingham Forest lost 4-0 to Leicester City in an FA Cup Third Round replay on Tuesday. Jermaine Beckford had a hat trick for Leicester in front of the home fans at The King Power Stadium. Forest inadvertently opened the scoring seven minutes in with an own-goal and Findley missed a shot from close range.

In his defense, Robbie Findley may have been their best player on the day. Still... yikes. That is going to earn the FA some sweet highlight fees for a few days. They should cut our guy a check.- Greg Seltzer

Don't forget, the Timbers have Robbie Findley's rights if he decides to come back to Major League Soccer.

Leicester City - Nottingham Forest 2:30pm - Fox Soccer FA Cup Third Round replay for Robbie Findley's Nottingham Forest and a reminder that draws don't lead to overtime and penalties in the venerable FA Cup. Instead, they lead to hastily arranged additions to the schedule. Findley was used as a substitute over the weekend, with Forest in the relegation zone in the Championship at 22nd.

If Brad Guzan retains his spot in Aston Villa's starting lineup this weekend, we are in for a treat.

Guzan and the Villans host Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Everton on Saturday in arguably the biggest match-up involving Americans this weekend.

We're about a week and a half away from the MLS Superdraft in Kansas City. It's the first of two drafts for the league, with a supplemental draft following a week later. KC have their natural 16th pick in the 1st round of the Superdraft, and then have the 30th selection in the second round. That selection came from FC Dallas in the trade that sent Kevin Hartman to Dallas.

Clint Dempsey has made quite the statement in 2011, and this weekend will provide him with a chance to finish it in style.

Having enjoyed a career year, Dempsey's final game of 2011 will pit him and Fulham against Norwich City in a match that could see the Cottagers inch closer to the top half of the Premiership table.

It must be Thanksgiving weekend, because there are some tasty match-ups involving the Americans Abroad contingent this weekend.

Michael Bradley and Chievo Verona have one of the marquee games, as they take on AC Milan on Sunday.

Brondby IF won its first game since early October in shocking fashion this past weekend, and it can partially thank Clarence Goodson for that.

Along with going the distance and limiting first-place FC Copenhagen to one goal, Goodson scored the opener in Brondby's 2-1 victory on Sunday.

Tim Howard and Everton took down Wolverhampton while Robbie Findley found the back of the net in Nottingham Forest's win over Ipswich Town.

Clarence Goodson got an 18th-minute goal in Brondby's 2-1 win over Copenhagen, one of two Americans to score over the weekend. Robbie Findley got the other goal, with Nottingham Forest beating Ipswich Town 3-2 in England's Championship. Findley equalized in the 42nd minute, with Joel Lynch getting Forest's second equalizer in the 84th and Marcus Tudgay finding a stoppage time winner.

SBI quotes Dynamo keeper Tally Hall on penalty kicks: "I've done enough homework to know that pretty much every player on their team taking a penalty can score either way," said Hall. "It doesn't really help me. Listen, most players here are good enough to go two ways consistently and score, so it's sometimes a premonition, sometimes it's just straight up reading.

No, Robbie Findley hasn't gone to market, he's hit the 1-1 equalizer near halftime for Nottingham Forest. Unfortunately, visitors Ipswich have gone back ahead after the break, but perhaps the US international has another strike in him today.Clip later... - Greg Seltzer

Domination.

That's one of the words that can best be used to describe Rangers' undefeated season, a season that Carlos Bocanegra, Maurice Edu and the rest of the club will attempt to build on when they face Dundee United on Saturday.

Currently nine points clear of second-place Motherwell with an 11-2-0 record, Rangers should take another step towards claiming a fourth straight Scottish Premier League title if it can live up to its expectations against Dundee.

Robbie Findley played 88 minutes in Nottingham Forest's big win over Reading in midweek action in England.

The final U.S. men's national team matches of 2011 are fast approaching, and with a pair of European road games on the slate, there is a good bet we will see plenty of familiar faces, but hopefully at least a few new faces.

The MLS playoffs could mean that some players don't make the trip across the pond, like Landon Donovan, though U.

Seeing German-Americans playing along one another on the U.S. men's national team is becoming quite the trend, but for one weekend we'll see a portion of them doing battle.
