Checkin’ on the party at the 50, Deuce (updated)
Clint Dempsey has hit his Fulham half-century, banging home a free kick on 12 minutes for his 50th Cottagers goal. It was not only his 17th EPL goal of the season (fourth-best), but also his 10th first goal (tied for second in the league).

My USMNT Clipboard 3.0
We are just over five weeks away from the start of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying and several things have changed since we last pulled up my depth chart. These have all been for a 4-3-3 set, but since Klinsi looks like settling on a 4-2-3-1, we'll just ...
