The Seattle Sounders shocked the soccer world last week by acquiring United States Men’s National Team captain Clint Dempsey from English club Tottenham Hotspur. The star midfielder signed a three-year deal to play for the Sounders, so Seattle footie fans will have plenty of chances to see the brilliance he displays on the pitch. He won’t play in Seattle until the August 25 match against the rival Portland Timbers, but he’s expected to see his first action this weekend when the Sounders face Toronto FC. In preparation for his debut, we’ve compiled a handful of Dempsey most deft strikes.
