 Soccer Goals: Landon Donovan's loan with Everton has proven a successful venture, as his play has catapulted the Blues up the table, when early in the season they remained in the realm of the relegation zone, a period too long for Manager Moyes' tastes.

Now that the English media and supporters have taken notice of Donovan's ability exploits, another player has offered his vote of confidence, after Tim Cahill earlier declared that Landon Donovan should remain with his newly-adopted team mates.

 

Praising Donovan's play during his short loan stin, right back Phil Neville has now clamored for a permanent deal to make the American Abroad a regular fixture at Everton. He spoke with Everton's official website complimenting his recent play. Here is an excerpt of his conversation.

 

Landon Donovan set up Saha’s first against Chelsea and has impressed since arriving at Goodison in January. And the Blues the Club captain says England will have singled out the American as the danger man in the USA line up when they two sides meet in the World Cup this summer.

The on-loan LA Galaxy player has a string of impressive performances under his belt in recent weeks.

But Neville says his showing against Chelsea is his best so far.

The skipper says Fabio Capello will have paid close attention to Donovan and the way he kept Ashely Cole out of the game before the left-bacl was forced off with a serios ankle injury.

"Landon was asked to do a job against Ashley Cole. The question the manager asked Landon before the game was ‘can you pose Ashley Cole a problem?’" revealed Neville.

"Well he did that, he totally nullified Ashley Cole and he posed the whole back four a problem. He was outstanding."

Donovan must return to the States next month and join back up with the Galaxy for the start of the MLS season.

But Neville hopes he could return to Everton in the future.

"For me playing at right back with him in front of me has made my job easier,” he revealed.

 

"It has been a pleasure to play with him. We just hope that maybe this kind of loan arrangement can be done again next season because he has fitted in superbly."

 

What do you think of Donovan's loan spell? Will MLS and Everton work out a deal to keep Donovan in England? Has his play surprised you?

Boasting great size at 5'5, excellent speed, great technical ability, and a nose for goal Mia Hamm illustrates what a professional soccer athlete should be. Her performance for the USMNT speaks volumes tallying 275 appearances with 158 goals, a career spanning from 1987-2004.  In 1991, Mia Hamm was the youngest American to win the World Cup at the age of 19. In 1999, the USWNT went on to win the World cup proving that the Mia Hamm Soccer Jerseys is one of the most prized in USA history.

 

While attending North Carolina and playing collegiate soccer Mia Hamm won the national championship four years consecutively a feat that is and would be difficult to match. Besides experiencing a fantastic collegiate and Fifa international career, she won gold at the 1996 (Atlanta) and 2004 (Athens Greece) Olympics and won silver at the 2000 Olympics in Syndey, Australia. Owning an authentic Mia Hamm Soccer Jerseys ranging from any of her Olympic, International, and collegiate accomplishments would be a great honor.

 

After breaking the international goals record of 158, Mia Hamm focussed on mother hood and married Major League Baseball star Nomar Garciaparra in 2003.  She stated  "As Pete said, sometimes you just know the time is the right time," Hamm said. "I've enjoyed every minute and I've learned a lot, but it's time to take the next step in my life." She also mentioned "I might want to have children, and I want to reconnect with my family, which was always there for me," she said. "I want to be the best wife I can be."

 

In March 2004, Hamm and former U.S. teammate Michelle Akers were the only two women, and the only two Americans, named to the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living soccer players selected by Pelé and commissioned by FIFA for that organization's 100th anniversary.

 

She is a great role model for the youth. Now focused on her family and foundation, Mia Hamm has  dedicated  herself to help with bone marrow research and to help women's sports programs progress. She was inspired to create her foundation by her adoptive brother and original athletic inspiration, Garrett. She had a friendly game the next day and all the members of her team wore a black armband in memory of her brother. The Mia Hamm Soccer Jerseys will go down as the most prestigous in Women's Soccer.

 

In her foundation website, the mission statement states that " The Mia Hamm Foundation is a reflection of my life experiences. I created this foundation to benefit important issues that have directly affected me throughout my life. The foundation is focused on providing support for two important causes: raising funds and awareness for families needing marrow or cord blood transplants and continuing the growth in opportunities for young women in sports."

 

 

"The Mia Hamm Foundation is a non-profit, national organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for families in need of a marrow or cord blood transplant and the development of more opportunities for young women to participate in sport."
