Dynamite Dempsey

Clint Dempsey struck an unbelievable goal last night to cap a Fulham victory over one of the true giants of international club football, Juventus.

After two months out of action with a knee injury it was a superb way to announce his return. He'll get plenty of games in the run-in with Fulham still alive in two cup competitions and should be in top shape by June. Here's hoping that Davies and Onyewu also recover in time to play a part for the US in South Africa.

If you haven't seen the goal or just want to see it again, Ives has a video on his site.

This goal is just really, really sick. After receiving the ball he never looks at the goal or the keeper once, yet still manages to pick it out perfectly. Donovan may be the "best" player the US has ever produced, but Dempsey is certainly has the best combination of skill, tenacity, and sheer audaciousness.
