Donovan is playing well for Everton, IMO...

cant understand WHY he wouldnt want to stay there and play in a real league, rather than come back in play in such a bush league (and I dont mean George)

its like comparing the German ice hockey league with the NHL....maybe Landon will take a real good look around and realize that the EPL is the place to be, and pull an extended stay ala David Beckham

then, one of his Galaxy teammates can tear him up in a tell-all book

    Well the MLS and it's fascist policies do their best to keep players in the league. So if Everton want to keep Landy they'll have to pay the league mad cash.

    True, he fits Everton like a glove too. He's done really well for them in his first two games. IMO he should stay.

    Of course he should stay, but the question is will MLS allow him to.

    With the smile he had on his face while coming off the pitch to a round of applause, he seems like he's enjoying himself.

    Actually, the German Ice Hockey league is quite good.

    US forward Dempsey injures knee in possible blow to American World Cup team
    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – 2 hours ago

    LONDON — Clint Dempsey faces a long layoff after injuring a knee during Fulham's 2-0 loss at Blackburn on Sunday, the latest blow to American preparations for the World Cup.

    The U.S. forward sat on the field in the 61st minute of the Premier League game after falling, then pointed at his right knee before a trainer came out and examined him. Dempsey limped off and was replaced.

    "Clint will be scanned tomorrow, but we feel it might be a posterior cruciate knee ligament, which would be very bad for us and he would be out for a while," Fulham manager Roy Hodgson said. "It's a concern up front because Clint Dempsey is very useful for us."

    And for the U.S., which begins its World Cup campaign in South Africa against England on June 12, then meets Slovenia six days later and Algeria on June 23.
    U.S. team spokesman Michael Kammarman said the U.S. Soccer Federation training staff had been in contact with Dempsey, and the severity of the injury will not been known until after an MRI exam determines the exact ligament hurt and whether there is other damage.

    The U.S. team is already likely to be without forward Charlie Davies in South Africa because of injuries sustained in a car crash last October, and defender Oguchi Onyewu is sidelined until spring following knee surgery.

    The U.S. opens its 2010 schedule on Saturday against fellow World Cup qualifier Honduras in Carson, Calif., then meets the Netherlands in Amsterdam on March 3, the only day before May that clubs are required to release players to national teams.

    Dempsey's injury is also a major blow for Fulham, which is missing forward Bobby Zamora until March while he recovers from a shoulder injury. Dempsey had produced Fulham's best scoring chance Sunday in the first half at Blackburn when his overhead kick hit the crossbar.

    "The doctors are pretty good these days - I would like to see them to be wrong more often," Hodgson said, trying to make light of the situation. "Often their initial diagnosis appears to be the correct one when the scan is made."
