3/19 Boot Spy: Clint Dempsey

Dempsey helped Nike unveil the Superfly III on Saturday. The boot doesn't seem all that different from the previous model, so it will be interesting to see how it is received by the soccer market. Clint was able to bury a sweet left footed shot past fellow American Tim Howard in the new cleats. The goal was his 10th of the EPL campaign, making him the first American in history to reach double digits in a season.

That Boy Clint Dempsey

He scores with his left,

He scores with his right,

That boy Clint Dempsey,

Makes Drogba look sh*te

Dempsey vs. Bradley

Today marks the first match-up between Dempsey and Bradley. Fulham and Aston Villa are kicking off right now (10 am ET). Find yourself a live stream and catch the epic showdown. Should be some good battles with Bradley playing CDM, and Dempsey either lining up at forward or on the wing.

My prediction. Final score 2-1 in favor of Fulham. Dempsey will score.

Deuce for Dempsey. Goodbye Fulham?

Dempsey continues to have a remarkable 2010/2011 season. His brace today against Stoke City brings his tally to 9 goals in all competitions (8 in league play) along with 3 assists to his name. Goals can be found at the 1:08 and 1:25 marks. The touch he displays prior to being taken down in the box is breathtaking. With all the Liverpool transfer talk floating around, next weeks fixture should be interesting. Fulham plays away at Anfield and many fans fear that Dempsey may have scored his final goal at Craven Cottage.

Boot Spy: Clint Dempsey

A while back Footy Guru noticed how Clint Dempsey traded in his Nike Superflys for a pair of T90 Lasers. He has been wearing the T90s for weeks including a new green colorway as recent as this past weekend. Apparently something made him make the switch, as he is once again sporting the pink Superflys (photo taken 1/4/11) seen below.

Dempsey Scores Against West Brom

Fulham go up 2-0 in the second half off a header from Dempsey. Good to see Deuce get back on track and hopefully secure 3 points for the relegation zone club. Clint now has 7 goals in all competitions this season. Here are highlights of of the 3-0 victory.

Dempsey Scores for Fulham

Watch as Dempsey rises above the crowd to nod home the equalizer. He has now poured in 5 goals in league play this season. Anyone want to take a guess at how many he will have at the end of the year? I'll go with 9 goals in league play.

Who is up for a road trip?

Fulham vs. Chelsea: 11:30 PST FSC

So I'm pretty sure you all know I'm a huge Clint Dempsey fan. Well today Fulham are matching up with Chelsea in a midweek match. I recently moved into a new place and treated myself with the Comcast package containing Fox Soccer Channel, so you know I'll be dialed into this game.

Hopefully Deuce plays well and the Cottagers get all three points. Just for good luck I've posted the two goals Dempsey laid on them in a previous match.

Dempsey Scores Another in T90 Lasers

Yesterday I posted the video of Dempsey's two strikes against Wigan. With the second making fine use of Nike's swerve fin technology on the Elite T90 Lasers. Footy Guru spotted the switch from the Superflys a few weeks back when Dempsey scored his first goal with the boots.

I have always been interested in trying out the swerve fins. Wondering if its anything more than a marketing gimmick. After a few weeks of play I feel like the fins would just wear down and lose some of their functionality. The boots look isn't very appealing either with the instep pods dominating the upper. Either way Dempsey now has 5 goals this season with 4 coming in League play. I'm glad the boots are working out for him.

Deuce with the Deuce

Dempsey lives up to his old nickname and puts in two spectacular goals this weekend to help Fulham defeat Wigan 2-0. Loving the Mexico - US connection! Click on over to SoccerByIves to watch both goals.

Dempsey: Best Compilation Video Ever!?

Glad I stumbled upon this video. Dempsey has been my favorite player since he came into MLS as a rookie out of Furman University. At only 27 years old, Dempsey has already achieved so much in his career. 3 outstanding years with the New England Revolution earned him a permanent starting spot on the USA national team. His play earned him the attention of various clubs in England. Since joining Fulham, Dempsey has contributed 27 goals for the club including a goal against Liverpool in his first year which saved the team from relegation. Take the time to watch this video highlighting his remarkable career.

Dempsey has expressed his interest in possibly coming back to MLS when he feels ready. I have a hard time thinking he wouldn't get picked up by a team in Texas, either Houston or FC Dallas. But who knows... maybe we will see the Deuce wearing Ponderosa and Moss Green in the future. Get that DP money ready!
