sNOw GO For Donovan's Liverpool Press Conference
The heaviest snow in England for decades prevented the Galaxy stars' introduction to the English media from happening today as his 10-week loan to EPL club Everton begins.
So Landon Donovan had to be content with an interview with the club's Web site (which is behind a pay wall).
However, Donovan reportedly said that U.S. and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had helped him settle in and that "going into a World Cup year this experience will keep me sharp."
Everton needs Donovan's firepower: The team has 26 goals in 19 matches and is in 11th place in the EPL.
The bad weather has already forced the postponement of some English games scheduled for today.
And will we see LD make his possible EPL debut this weekend on U.S. TV?
Um, maybe but it's complicated.
Maybe Donovan should have headed to Mexico after all, although this may not be the best way to do that:
