Clint Dempsey’s second career United States hat trick was possibly the most impressive he’s ever scored for club or country. Consider that it came in a must-win match, after a more than seven-month national team hiatus, didn’t require a penalty and featured two goals that were as impressive as any he’s scored for the red, white and blue. He also became the oldest player to score a USMNT hat trick of any kind and the oldest player from any country to score a hat trick in the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, according to ESPN’s Paul Carr.
