The United States could have some fans from northwest England cheering on the team at this year’s World Cup.
U.S. international Landon Donovan is on loan at Everton from Major League Soccer and says supporters of the Premier League club chanted “U-S-A, U-S-A” every time he took a corner kick in his debut at Arsenal last weekend.
Donovan says “it was awesome. From Day 1 everyone has been very welcoming.”
Donovan could make his home debut at Goodison Park against Manchester City on Saturday but his stay in England looks like being a short one. He is scheduled to head back the United States for the Los Angeles Galaxy’s opening MLS game on March 27.
Donovan is under contract to the club through 2013.
