Fulham has played their matches at Craven Cottage since 1896; the "cottage" used to be a hunting lodge, and has a history that goes back over 300 years. Just thought I'd mention it.

USA! USA! (completely unrelated to the tourney)
After being out 7 weeks with a knee injury, our boy Clint Dempsey is back in the mix at Fulham. Why is this important? Because he's one of the few legitimate goal-scorers the USMNT has, and the World Cup is right around the corner. Why do I mention this now? Because just the other day, Fulham (Dempsey's EPL team) fought back from a 4-1 (aggregate) deficit in a Europa League 2nd leg match against Juventus, with Dempsey scoring the winner in the 82nd minute. Not sure what all those words mean? Just watch the goal, it's a thing of beauty.

Funny you posted this... I had a heated debate this morning over Dempsey's intentions on this play. Cross or shot?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the article on Goal.com, Dempsey said-
ReplyDelete"I just thought 'what the heck?' and tried to put it in the far post and it went in," Dempsey told ESPN.
"Nine times out of 10 you won't make it, but sometimes you've got to take a risk."

Oh I think that was an attempt for sure. And if anyone would try a one-in-a-million shot, it would Dempsey. Hopefully we'll see him rapping in another commercial in the build-up to the World Cup this year.
