		<description>Dan I&#039;ve read a few of your other posts on Clint Dempsey and I&#039;m glad you apologized in this article.  Nobody looks at how hard Clint&#039;s had to work to be in the 11 at Fulham.  For a while there it seemed like no matter how many goals he netted he was still on the pine at kickoff.  He&#039;s been tired, not one American on Bradleys 11 has had to put as much effort into the last 8 or 9 months as him.  You&#039;ll have to excuse him for flying across the pond from a grueling season and showing some obvious jet lag.  He&#039;s been the leading scorer for Fulham the last two seasons, and yet that&#039;s still not good enough for the club.  I don&#039;t think he&#039;ll make it to opening day with Fulham this year.  He has just one season left on contract and I don&#039;t believe he has any intention of signing another with the team, he has already turned down a few offers from Fulham.  If Fulham has any brains in their offices, they&#039;ll sell him this summer while they can still pocket money from his transfer.  Throughout all of what&#039;s happened to him while in the EPL, he&#039;s never shown his anger, disappointment, or a lack of class in anyway.  He&#039;s a true American Football icon and a staple for years to come with the MNT. 

If you truly want to look at someone who is constantly under preforming, look at Bocanegra.  If you think I&#039;m wrong search Youtube and re-watch the goals scored against the US.  Make sure you note where Carlos was during each one.  I&#039;m betting that the majority of the time he wasn&#039;t able/lacked the skill to/was afraid to make the play needed at the time.  That is just not acceptable for me, especially from someone wearing the captains band.</description>
