Dempsey With Fulham (Extended Highlights of WBA Match)
Extended highlights of Fulham v. West Brom Albion match. Link after the jump.
In addition to his goal, Clint had a couple of chances including a goal called back for offsides. He missed a chance at the end he normally would bury. I can remember when many on the Fulham messageboards were calling for Dempsey to go back to America.

College Basketball Betting: Kentucky, Syracuse Look For Big Road Wins This Saturday
While the anticipation for this Sunday’s Super Bowl continues to build, NCAAB sports betting fans understand there is one more stop before the big game, with college basketball Saturday offering a promising lineup of games once again. 21 of the top-25 teams in the country will be in action on Saturday, including three matchups featuring nationally ranked teams, with the Kentucky Wildcats owning the spotlight at No. 1.(1) Kentucky Wildcats @ South Carolina Gamecocks
Saturday, 6:00 PM ET
The Wildcats will look to continue their assault on the SEC with a trip to South Carolina, where they will undoubtedly be favored once again by the pay head bookies. After a tough one-point loss at Indiana, Kentucky has won 14 straight games including a perfect eight conference-wins, and has an excellent chance to extend that run against the team with the worst record in the SEC. The Gamecocks have lost four of their five games in SEC competition, including a 79-64 blowout loss in their first meeting with Kentucky, and barely scraped past the Alabama Crimson Tide 56-54 in their only win at home. The Wildcats’ tandem of Anthony Daivs and star freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been among the best in the country, and until they face some stiffer competition it is unlikely they will slow down in the SEC.
College Basketball Betting Pick: Kentucky Wildcats
(2) Syracuse Orange @ St. John’s Red Storm
Saturday, 12:00 PM ET
It is almost unfair to Syracuse that the minute they finally lost a game they were pushed down to No. 2, especially considering that the Big East is so much better than the SEC, and that the Orange has played much tougher contests. Syracuse didn’t cover the Betonline spread at West Virginia in a two-point win last Sunday, but the time off should help head coach Jim Boeheim to rally his troops and get them focused. St. John’s has lost four of it’s last five against SEC competition and has lost all eight games against nationally ranked opponents, so look for Syracuse to bounce back with a big win.
College Basketball Betting Pick: Syracuse Orange
(6) North Carolina Tar Heels @ Maryland Terapins
Saturday, 4:00 PM ET
The Tar Heels have bounced back with four straight wins following that surprising blowout loss at Florida State, and will look to avoid the same fate they faced against the Seminoles when they travel to play Maryland on Saturday. North Carolina has a ton of talent, which is illustrated in that it ranks first in the country in points per game and rebounds per game, and fourth in assists per game. Being at or near the top of the country in all three of those categories is an impressive accomplishment, but consistency will be the key for the Tar Heels as they continue to shoot for No. 1 the day before the biggest game of the NFL season.

Merseyside's Man
By Jared Launius
It's been kind of an interesting last 10 or so months for Donovan professionally, as his form was up-and-down – and injury-ridden – during his MLS season and, as you probably remember, he was benched for two knockout matches in the Gold Cup, which would have never been dreamed of a year before when he was scoring three goals in the World Cup. This all coincided with the finest run of Clint Dempsey's career, as the Cottager has scored a remarkable 22 goals across all competitions since the start of the Premier League's winter term in 2011.
For reasons perhaps unfair, but completely understandable, this has all lead to many proclaiming Dempsey's passing of Donovan in the U.S. best-player pecking order.* This is all, as the players like to say, media and fan created, and the players don't really care, or at least they say they don't. For me, personally, as a fan of the team and as someone who's dying to see the sport grow in this country, it doesn't really matter. I'm just smitten we've produced two attacking players of this caliber in one generation, and I hope they can both maintain their skills through 2014.
*For what it's worth, I find it hard to argue anything else. Dempsey has been a man possessed for about 14 months and, even if he's a different player than Donovan, seems to have been much more influential for a club in a much better league. National team form has bared similar results.
But I have to wonder if it does mean something to Donovan, not because of anything I know about him, but because of how I know I'd react if I were in his shoes. It's not fun being told you're not good enough, and it's not fun being told your teammate is better than you. Not because you don't want your teammates to do well, but it's just not fun being told this person is better than you, even if it's true.
Ultimately, for what matters most to us (the national team), this isn't exactly critical. The two occupy different spaces on the field, offer different things on the ball and have played effectively together for better than four years. But for us, the fans, this impressive seven-game run at Everton almost feels like Landon's response to Clint's year-plus of Premier League ascendancy. Or, at least, his reminder of exactly who he is and what he's about.
And it's given us plenty to talk about.
