Some Soccer News for Fri Jan 27, 2012
STARTERS
Landon 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.
STORY OF THE DAY
Clint Dempsey gives us his first "diary entry" at Goal.com.
