Clint Dempsey delivered two goals and an important Gold Cup victory for the U.S. national team on a hot night in his home state of Texas.
FRISCO, Texas — Ask Clint Dempsey about the oppressive head and humidity that can make playing games in his home state of Texas a challenge and he'll make it clear that growing up here doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
"It's tough, it's tough — no matter if you grow up in it or don't grow up in it," Dempsey said of the Texan conditions, which are more about stifling humidity than actual heat.
