My Take
Clint Dempsey embodies the scrappy, self-made spirit American soccer needed during its growing pains. Rising from small-town Texas to score in the Premier League with Fulham and Tottenham was never a sure thing for an American forward, and he did it by playing with grit and a chip on his shoulder rather than pedigree. I always loved his refusal to defer to bigger reputations; he carried himself like he belonged on any pitch in the world. Now analyzing the game on CBS, he brings the credibility of someone who actually fought those battles. To me he is one of the most important figures in the maturing of US soccer.
