I maintain that the first eleven is not too bad, even quite good if they're on song. But the drop off in talent from the bench is severe. Yeah, I don't get Dempsey. He's good enough to play for a mid-table Premier League team, he's got to fight for his place and to play 90 minutes, and he scores the occasional goal for them. If he tried those same tricks in England, they'd bench his ass. It’s kind of frightening that guys like Bornstein and Pearce are who the US turns to if a first-teamer goes down, isn’t it?

Remind me again what Dempsey's head is so big about? So far this season Fulham have beaten rock-bottom Portsmouth, the top team in Lithuania and the #13 team in Russia. That's impressive.
