The two-goal hero saves most of his praise for teammates.
Considering that he scored a brace on Sunday against the Timbers, Clint Dempsey was in a relatively jovial mood in the locker room after the match. By jovial, I mean that his trademark scowl was mostly hiding away. But after leading the Seattle Sounders to such an emphatic 3-1 win over their rivals, Dempsey was happy to praise his teammates rather than brag about his own role. He even said something I’m not sure I’ve ever heard him say—that the Sounders are "back to everybody having fun" on the pitch.
