Donovan & Márquez Are EA CoverBoys

MLS stars Landon Donovan of the LA Galaxy and Rafa Márquez of the New York Red Bulls faced off last night in the US v. Mexico friendly, but the duo hasn't seen the last of each other.

Prior to last night's 1-1 draw, Donovan and Márquez were announced as coverboys for EA Sports’ FIFA Soccer ’12, joining Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

“Landon and Rafa have been the heart and soul of their national teams, and we have long admired their passion, dedication and exceptional performances,” said Matt Bilbey, vice president and general manager of Soccer, EA SPORTS, in a statement. “They are two of the most respected and recognizable players in North America, and they will play an integral role in helping us launch FIFA Soccer ’12 to soccer fans across the continent. With the addition of Wayne Rooney on the cover, it is truly a blockbuster lineup.”

The video game will hit stores on September 27.
