Yes, as the midway point in Europe fast approaches, the speculation around America's biggest soccer star is quickly building to a fever pitch. On Monday, Donovan was tied to Newcastle. Tuesday brings a fresh round of reports, with the latest in the Daily Mail, which is saying that Donovan is being pursued for a loan stint by none other than struggling London side, Fulham.

Clint Dempsey's legacy overseas continues to grow, as he was announced as the recipient of the BBC London 2010 Sporting Moment of the Year on Monday.

Americans Abroad: Stuart Holden Goal Is Dramatic Winner for Bolton

With all due respect to Clint Dempsey, who is enjoying another superb campaign at Craven Cottage, it's becoming increasingly arguable that Bolton's Stuart Holden is having the finest current season by an American abroad. The 25-year-old's European endeavors hit a spectacular high Sunday, when he fired home the game-winning volley in the 88th minute of Bolton's 2-1 win over Blackburn in the Lancashire derby. The strike came just seconds after the Rovers had equalized against 10-man Bolton via a Mame Biram Diouf tally. Playing his first match since Nov. 20 after recovering from a thigh injury, ...

DaMarcus Beasley Signs With Hannover 96 of Bundesliga

When the final whistle sounded in Soccer City at the 2010 World Cup, most expected a flurry of transfer activity across Europe and around the globe. Instead, with clubs showing more caution due to the shaky economy, the usual post-tournament feeding frenzy was more like buying off the Dollar Menu. (Well, unless your name is Manchester City.) Indicative of this global spending slowdown were some members of the U.S. national team, who spent most of the summer looking for new clubs, albeit without much news or rumor to report. On Monday, however, with fewer than 48 hours left in the European ...

How the Target Boycott Made Me Rethink My Patriotism

How the Target Boycott Made Me Rethink My Patriotism

LONDON -- When you live abroad for a long time, you tend to identify certain cultural objects that anchor you with a sense of home. They are the things that -- for better or for worse -- come to signify "America." It might be a diner that serves all-day brunch. Or the blissful simplicity of a tumble dryer.

For me, that cultural touchstone has always been Target, the iconic superstore of highways and strip malls across America, where you can buy everything from ...
