Fellow American admires Dempsey

Goal.com has a story about how an American who used to play overseas admires former Dragon Clint Dempsey's toughness:

"Dempsey is an incredible example,"Lewis stated. "Coming into this summer, he was out of favor. I don't think he was expected to have too much of an impact this season."

Dempsey did indeed suffer a dry run of bench time - where he was brought in as a late sub, if at all.

"He got pushed out," Lewis explained. "He literally fought his way back into that team. He's been playing quite a bit. He's scored some important goals for them this season. Honestly, every minute he gets, he's earned."
