Steve Davis reports from England that, "By the time Landon Donovan was done at Goodison Park on Sunday, I was fairly sure Everton officials were about to rename the stadium after the guy." Donovan scored and assisted in his final home game for Everton after coming off the bench in the second half.

When they announced the subs prior to kickoff, the round of applause for Donovan was louder than it was for some of the starters. When he entered the game, the cheers were loud and surely earnest. As he blazed a ball into the hapless Hull City goal, the place came apart. Then came the chants. “USA! … USA …"

It happened again as he set up Everton’s final goal in the 5-1 win. And then at the final whistle, as he took a short little walk to clap for the fans, the “USA! … USA! … “ chant rang anew. Remember, these aren’t just Everton fans, notes Davis. Presumably, they are England fans, too. And this same “USA!” will meet England on June 12.
