Check out an amazing article from Sports Illustrated. It takes a look at the US squad going into this summer’s World Cup — and focuses on Clint Dempsey‘s game. While a smile will most surely come to your face when you read that Bruce Arena admires Dempsey because he “tries s—”… Hands-down the best line comes from The Deuce as he talks about his dagger of a goal against Juventus:
“There’s no better feeling than getting crunk after scoring an important goal.”
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***CRACKING HIGHLIGHTS***
Europa League Semifinal – 2nd leg
Fulham – Hamburg
(Score: 0-0, after 1st leg)
PREVIEW
In European play last week, Fulham were the only traveling team to not walk away with an uphill battle. After an arduous bus ride from England to Germany, the Cottagers were able to pull out a nil-nil draw — which means they return home on even ground… but only a win will do in today’s match. A draw today will put the Germans through on the away goal rule.
After a loss on the weekend, Hamburg have sacked their coach. Thus, the team arrives to Craven Cottage lacking direction and leadership. Will this prove their downfall? Or will it create a rallying point? They would love nothing more than to play in the final, which is being hosted on their home ground.
This all comes down to a spot in the Europa League Final in Hamburg on May 12th.
