More than 40,000 Sounders FC fans showed up Sunday afternoon for the home opener of Seattle’ws MLS season. This meant the question was asked, oh, some 40,000 times during the team’s 1-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC.
Where was Clint Dempsey?
The team’s returning 2017 scoring leader with 12 goals and five assists, Dempsey is on the short list of greatest U.S. players in the history of the sport. And though he was named the league’s Comeback Player of the Year last season, the veteran forward will turn 35 on Friday.
There’s a very good chance 2018 will be the last of his 14-year career pro career.
