April 2012 Long story short.  I'm a Croatian American from Los Angeles and have been following soccer my entire life, heck it put me through college on a scholarship. 

So to the point, we Croatians love sports and with such a small country we tend to follow our countrymen as they progress.  So when Jelivic signed with Everton, which I really didn't know much about at the time, I simply said good for him, I hope he scores them some goals.  Well he's come on and made a few goals, but I also saw something much much more, I saw EVERTON, and after recording and watching all the games, the player interviews, the Moyes interviews, I said WOW.  What professionals, what heart, talent, desire, no per-madonnas, just hard working footballers that play with heart and love of the game.

The draw on Saturday, I was fricken pulling my hear out, then on Monday, the games was 11:30 AM my time and with Jelavic and several of the other lads sitting out I was like lets see what spark this club has.  They scored 4 goals, 4 GOALS TO ZERO, I was like holy smokes.  I Tivoed the game and raced home to watch it after work, I almost got nabbed by the highway patrol for speeding, and what a GAME.

So Saturday, we've got Liverpool.  The game starts at 4:30 AM my time in L.A., and just to let you lads know, I'll be up watching.  I might have to pull an all nighter and call my Argentine friends over and party til the sun comes up. 

So from your newest Everton Fan.
