A trip to Goodison Park is just the tonic needed following our recent troubles, namely a
bizarre, referee-induced three-goal collapse at home against Manchester United.
Wait, what? We rarely win at Everton? Shit.
Mean muggin'
We have actually won at Goodison this season, a 2-1 victory in extra time in the League Cup.
While the marquee game of the weekend, Sunday's African Cup of Nations final between Zambia and
Ivory Coast, is not being widely televised throughout the United States, there is still plenty of
top-rate action to catch.
This weekend has the potential to be a landmark one for a number of Americans looking to make
their mark on the European game.
Israeli midfielder Ashraf Soliman was involved in arguably the most exciting game of his life when
Maccabi Umm al-Fahm took on Hapoel Afula in a cup tie. With his team 2-1 up and injury-time
looming, Soliman contrived to score perhaps the worst (or best depending how you look at it) own
goal ever as he [.
Brad Friedel, amongst his peers, still going strong at 41 years old
A recent post by Jamie Trecker poses the question will the USA ever win the World Cup? And when
will the USA ever produce its own Pele, if ever?
Trecker goes on to say that the USA has always produced top quality goalkeepers, the country's
most visible export to overseas leagues in this sport.
Tim Howard and Landon Donovan hope to guide Everton to a win as they take on Chelsea at home, while
Clint Dempsey and Fulham hosts Stoke City.
The Union confirmed on Wednesday through the team's Twitter account that Zac MacMath is joined
in preseason training by Chase Harrison, who had temporarily joined the club late last season when
Faryd Mondragon and Thorne Holder were both out with injuries before the club declined the option
to sign him in November to make him available for the Re-Entry Draft.
Good heavens. We hope you warmed your hands first, Sami! Images via gq-magazin.de.
Avert your eyes, Kickettes! We haven't revealed this much flesh on the site in one go since Tim
Howard was kind enough to get his nekkid on for ESPN, and our server collapsed under the weight of
our rampant lust.
USA 2014 World Cup Squad Projection Version 1.5 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog
It's been a few months since the initial projection and it's changed a bit with several
friendlies taking place. Overall, the core of the team remains the same with the final spots still
unclear. This projection is of what the team (23 man squad) will be for the World Cup (in 2014) and
not during qualifying.
Kenny Cooper opened his New York Red Bulls account on Tuesday, doing so against his former club in
the process.
Cooper scored the opening goal in the Red Bulls' 2-0 preseason victory over FC Dallas in Cancun,
Mexico, a game that was postponed from Monday because of field conditions.
It was a tough day for Yanks in England as Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, and Everton were held to a
draw against Wigan, while Clint Dempsey and Fulham lost to Manchester City.
1. OTP proposes that to avoid the controversy and time delays of getting a couple of penalties
every week, Manchester United should start all matches with a two-goal headstart. 2. Feed the Ox
and he will score. 3. Aston Villa will be looking at the fixture list this morning and hoping that

Sacha Kljestan has quietly put together a solid season for RSC Anderlecht, but he made some
noise in the club's latest win on Sunday.
Kljestan scored his third goal of the season (fourth across all competitions) in Anderlecht's
4-2 win over Racing Genk when he fired home a free kick from 30 yards out.

Wigan Athletic 1-1 Everton Premier League 4th February 2012
A late Victor Anichebe goal was enough to rob perpetual strugglers Wigan of a vital and rare
victory. The defeat leaves the Latics bottom of the table and looking like dead certs for the
drop.
Manchester City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to a convincing
3-0 win at home over Fulham.
Heading into the Fulham match a lot of questions were being asked about a City side that had
lost four of their eight matches in 2012, exiting the FA and League Cups and seeing Manchester
United draw level with them on points at the top of the Premier League.

Tim Howard and Landon Donovan were part of a huge win for Everton, beating Premier League leaders
Manchester City 1-0 at Goodison Park. Darron Gibson scored the game's only goal in the 60th minute.
Donovan assisted on the Gibson goal. "That is as good as it has been at Goodison for a while
considering the players we had missing and the team we were up against," Everton manager David
Moyes said.
Transfer madness takes a back seat to mid-week matches, as a number of top teams in Europe take
to the field on Tuesday.
The top four teams in England are all in action, with Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Everton
facing league-leading Manchester City. Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea will all be looking
to secure their own results while hoping the American pair can conjure an upset to shorten the gap
at the top of the table.
On this side of the Atlantic, the football news that received quite a bit of attention over past
few days was Friday's FA Cup tie between Everton and Fulham, featuring Clint "Hat Trick" Dempsey,
Landon Donovan, and Tim Howard. Everton won, and as SI.com put it,
Landon Donovan etched his name further into Everton lore with two assists in the
Toffees' FA Cup victory over Fulham.

It is a wild day across England, with the rapid-fire closing of the transfer window being
accompanied by a full slate of mid-week matches. While the transfer window doesn't figure to
include any more Americans making moves to England, there could be some notable performances by
U.
7 games, 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 goals allowed. These were rookie Philadelphia Union goalkeeper
Zac MacMath's numbers after filling in for an injured Faryd Mondragon late in the 2011 season.
Pretty impressive for a twenty year old rookie backup goalkeeper who's only playing time before
Faryd Mondragon's injury was a second half start in a friendly against EPL squad, Everton.

In a week that saw several young and inexperienced players make their cases for more playing
time on the U.S. men's national team, it was the veterans of the United States who shined
brightly.
Landon Donovan was one of those players, as he inspired Everton to victory by setting up both
of its goals in a 2-1 win over Fulham in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday.
U.S. Soccer fans were dialed in to yesterdays' FA Cup fourth round clash between Everton and
Fulham that featured Tim Howard, Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey. The home side walked out 2-1
winners, with Donovan serving up assists on both goals for the Toffees. The win was the
first for Everton against Fulham in their FA Cup history.
In a much anticipated matchup, Landon Donovan provided two assists to help Tim Howard and Everton
oust Clint Dempsey and Fulham from the FA Cup on Friday
Bah. Just as the Odense fiasco represented more than just another defeat, so too did last
night's pathetic exit from the FA Cup. Nobody's pretending it's easy to go to Everton and get a
result if it was we'd manage to get points there once in a while but there's something horribly
wrong about these disjointed farces.

STARTERSLandon Donovan set up both Everton goals today as they knocked Fulham out of the FA Cup. Clint
Dempsey was a non-factor for Fulham, who are terrible away from home. And of course Tim Howard
guarded the entrance to the cave like a momma bear as usual for Everton. And a 4th American was
even on the team sheets today as Marcus Hahnemann was the Everton back up keeper.
The All-American showdown went to Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Everton.
Donovan came up with two assists to guide the Toffees to a 2-1, come-from-behind victory over
Clint Dempsey's Fulham at Goodison Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday.
Donovan hit summer acquisition Denis Stracqualursi with a pinpoint left-footed cross from the
right in the 27th minute, and the Argentine headed it past Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale to
pull Everton level at 1-1.
Danny Murphy converted a 14th-minute penalty to put Fulham up at Goodison Park, but it would be
Everton advancing to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup. Denis Stracqualursi equalized in the 27th
minute and Marouane Fellaini headed in the winner in the 73rd. Landon Donovan and Tim Howard
started for Everton, with Clint Dempsey in the lineup for Fulham.
Their Words "We just need everybody to be at the same level on and off the pitch on Saturday. If we
play like that and get the support we got, we'll give ourselves a better chance of progressing in
the FA Cup." Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish. Other Sources Tim Howard on life in the Prem - from
ESPN.
Today at noon, or if you're on the East Coast 3 p.m., Fox Soccer will be broadcasting Everton vs
Fulham in a FA cup match up. I bet you're asking yourself why I'm bringing this up here? Two of
America's best players will be on display, on opposite sides of the ball. The LA Galaxy's Landon
Donovan who is on loan to Everton, and Clint Dempsey - the only American to bag a hat trick in
England's top flight.
The three best American soccer players in the world will be on the field together in a club
match for the first time ever as Tim Howard and Landon Donovan lead Everton against Clint Dempsey
and Fulham (3pm, Fox Soccer Channel).
Today's FA Cup Fourth Round showdown is being billed as a battle between Dempsey and Donovan,
long-time USA teammates and two great players who draw different reactions from different fans.
So yes, it's Landon v Clint in about two hours. Press pass sets the scene, but let's not forget Tim
Howard also exists. Deuce has only hit off him once and that was consolation in a losing cause.-

Fulham departs the Cottage and heads south to Goodison to face David Moyes bunch of not so merry
men.
The so-called #LDvsCD battle. Donovan vs. Dempsey.
TSG is not buying the hype, but nice to watch one game in England instead of two to see the US's
top field players....and leading striker Tim Howard.
The highly anticipated match involving of the U.S. Men's National Team's top talents kicks off at 3
p.m. ET today (FOXSoccer) when Tim Howard and Landon Donovan at Everton welcome Clint Dempsey's
Fulham in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Dempsey has been white hot for Fulham, having scored two hat tricks in the last month, including
one against Charlton in the third round.

Yesterday he's going, today he is staying. An article from sportinglife.com suggests that Le
Toux "did not impress sufficiently" at Bolton. Owen Coyle is quoted in the article, "Sebastien came
in for a couple of days, and to be fair to him he hadn't trained for four or five weeks.
In a much anticipated match up, Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, and Everton host Clint Dempsey and
Fulham in a FA Cup clash that American soccer fans will be eager to watch.

Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey have shared plenty of moments throughout their careers as the
top two attacking threats of the U.S. men's national team, but they will not be celebrating
together on Friday.

do battle in the fourth round of the FA Cup (3pm, Fox Soccer Channel).
