Landon Donovan leans on his Everton FC experience to beat England
UNITED STATES forward Landon Donovan believes his loan spell with Everton last season can help play a part in plotting England's downfall on Saturday.[LNB]Donovan spent two and a half months at Goodison Park during the close season of his parent club, Los Angeles Galaxy, and quickly became a fans' favourite.[LNB]But he also feels the experience helped him to find out the qualities of some of the England players he will come face to face with in Rustenburg.[LNB]Donovan, his country's record scorer with 42 goals, said: 'In my opinion, England are one of the top teams in the world and top teams don't have any weaknesses.[LNB] 'It would be hard for me to point anywhere and find a weakness in their team.[LNB]'But the experience at Everton was valuable in a lot of ways, for me personally and also in getting the chance to play against some of the players we will see on Saturday.[LNB]'It also gave me the ability to understand the way their league is, the way and style most teams play in their league.[LNB]'Those are all beneficial things to us. Will it have a huge impact on the game, probably not.[LNB]'But having some comfort in that way will be helpful on Saturday.'
