Got World Cup Fever yet? Maybe this picture of a 20 foot tall Clint Dempsey will help. Dempsey plays for Fulham FC in the English Premiere League. Although they are just mid-table journeymen in what is probably the world’s toughest league, they have made an improbable run to the final of the Europa Cup. That run was capped by a comeback from two goals down to Hamburg in the Semi-Final and an extraordinary comeback from three goals down against Italian giants, Juventus. In that game Dempsey scored the game winner.
And in case you’ve forgotten, Team USA plays its opening match against England.
Regardless, my work schedule in June of this quadrennial year will best be described as, “sporadic.” Me and about two billion other people.
