Since making his professional debut in 2004, Clint Dempsey has scored nearly 200 goals for club and country. To the best of our research, six of them have come on free kicks. The most recent of those came on Friday, capping off his second international hat trick in the United States’ 6-0 win over Honduras. It was his first free kick goal at the international level.
It may have been his most impressive free-kick goal, as well. The shot came from practically the corner of the penalty box, dipping over the wall and somehow striking the side netting at the far post.
