    Dempsey is on the pitch for Sounders FC tonight in the pre-game ceremony, but isn't playing.

    How much did Paul Allen pay for his transfer? Will it become public soon? Looks like PA is putting his money into a league w/out a salary cap for transfers. Good for him!

    I read 4 years and 32 mil to Clint and 9 mil to Tottenham. Good move financially for Clint and great fit mls, but I can't help but think this hurts the usmnt at least a little in Brazil. And of course it sucks as a timbers fan.

    I still can't believe in under 1 year he went from forcing his way out of Fulham because they weren't champions league material to transferring to the mls.

    Going to Sp*rs was a mistake. Second rate organization. The have grandiose ambitions but lack structure. He's EPL quality but I'm sure the Sp*rs weren't looking to sell him to the teams that could afford him. Guess he's happy playing state-side so good for him.
