Maybe, just maybe, you can play football.

Congratulations on a lovely run at Everton. Let's hope you keep that form up through August.

2. Meh, I don't think that goal is as easy as the BBC guy does
Donovan was pretty far wide of the goal, considering how near the line he was (his next stride after the miss took him over the touch line)...that was not an easy angle to hit at

Sam Vokes complete choke against ManUre on Saturday was much worse

4. He's being widely praised for his play
And that was actually a tough play. The angles are terrible.

3. The guy is good
And I like seeing a couple Americans do well at Everton.

Oh, and sure that shot was a gimmie, but this makes up for it:

5. I join you in the mea culpa
I figured he was just going to get blown away. But I think the English game really brought out another gear I hadn't seen (much of) from him. And this hurts to say because he not only helped Everton whip Chelsea, he took out Ashley Cole. I tried finding some malice in it so I could go back to disliking him, but it was just unlucky.
