One comment on “Dempsey voted Player of the Year”
Dempsey’s been such a pleasure to watch since he got back from the World Cup. It’s been like he’s playing on an entirely different speed than the rest of his teammates and opposition. He’s got a bizarre mix of stubbornness and unpredictability that basically means he’ll go through, seeming to flail wildly until somehow he comes through with the ball. It’s going to be a real shame to lose him, likely very soon.
