SOUNDBITE: (English) Landon Donovan, Los Angeles Galaxy (On playing in midfield for LA Galaxy in a World Cup year)

"Yeah I've generally done what is asked, if Bruce (Arena) needs me there it's fine there, if he wants me to play up front it's fine I play up front. But whatever helps the team most and it gives us another dynamic attacking option, we can play Robbie (Keane) with another forward and keep me in the midfield. Gyasi (Zardes) has really come along well so it gives us a lot of options, a lot of dangerous opportunities and makes it difficult for teams to play against us."
