News of Everton's presence in Seattle has clearly spread, with the number of media and spectators signifcantly increasing at training on Wednesday.

The Blues' upcoming clash against River Plate in Canada had brought media men from across the border to size up what they will be viewing this weekend, while the local US journalists and cameramen were also in attendance.
