When I saw that last night, I instantly knew it would be a gif before long.

[–]chunky_goonie 16 points17 points ago

First thing that came to my mind. Oh, well. Glad they are at the top of the group for now.

[–]lotictrance 14 points15 points ago

Yup, helluva show from our offense. Nearly 80% possession in the first half alone. Way better than the last match with Jamaica.

[–]capt_0bvious 10 points11 points ago

we had 80% possession because Jaimaican didn't go on the offensive, they were playing for a tie which required them to stay back on D the whole time.

[–]HeroicGomez 11 points12 points ago

Playing Not To Lose usually means Playing Not To Lose

[–]capt_0bvious 3 points4 points ago

Recall Chelsea vs. Beyrn Munich in the finals?

[–]auto98 9 points10 points ago

Recall the word "usually" in the post you replied to?

[–]Rcp_43b 2 points3 points ago

It got posted to reddit by me and another guy within minutes. proof

*** really?! Downvoted for simply linking to the first post of the gif?

[–]motorboat_enthusiast 8 points9 points ago

It happens, that's reddit.

[–]Rcp_43b 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't even upset over it being posted to sports. Just commenting on how quick reddit made it spread. Like a disease.

[–]drizzl 31 points32 points ago

Then right after that, he flipped to "I'm from Texas and I'm gonna stab you" face.

[–]Rcp_43b 7 points8 points ago

That was my thought too, he seemed to be laughing it off then suddenly looked murderous.

[–]wvrevy 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure he told the Jamaican something to the effect of "Come find me after the game, bitch."

Then he rapped at him and told him to go back to MLS where he belongs.

[–]SlurmsMackenzie 0 points1 point ago

I thought he said the Jamacian was "a fucking baby."

[–]wvrevy 0 points1 point ago

I dunno...I REALLY thought he told him something to the effect of "I'll be right here after the game". Either way it was funny as hell...lol

[–]LatinLover69 44 points45 points ago

Oh Clint Dempsey, you so silly.

[–]zeezee2k 15 points16 points ago

He's probably the best American player of all time.

[–]ProstetnicVogonJelz 19 points20 points ago

Other than our goalies.

[–]SlurmsMackenzie 6 points7 points ago

I think you've got to give credit to Tim Howard. The guy keeps Everton competitive.

[–]tremens 4 points5 points ago

Brad Freidel is getting up there in age, but he's still a fantastic keeper, as well, and did quite well for Spurs last season.

[–]kesin 0 points1 point ago

I feel like Brad Freidel has been getting up there in age for like the past decade. What a bad ass though.

[–]blazingboom -1 points0 points ago

:( could've should've been at Anfield. Darn.

[–]plewes37 12 points13 points ago

I imagine this was his reaction when he heard Villa had bid for him

[–]bfinleyui 16 points17 points ago

He didn't like Cool Runnings.

[–]RanByMyGun 1 point2 points ago

WHO DOESN'T LIKE COOL RUNNINGS??!!

[–]blingdog9 7 points8 points ago

Context?

[–]garc 17 points18 points ago

[–]Sailer 11 points12 points ago

So the Jamaican deliberately elbows the American in the face while up in the air, then the Jamaican acts like he's hurt. And the American calls him out on this.

Works for me.

[–]phdre 7 points8 points ago

I don't think the elbow was deliberate though - in soccer you want to go up with your elbows up, otherwise you sacrifice position / risk head-to-head clashes, and he never turns to look at the American. I won't defend the play acting on this part (or for that matter, who knows how hard the elbow struck the American player).

[–]nastrabrahmus 1 point2 points ago

That player had been doing similar things the entire first half....

[–]phdre 0 points1 point ago

I didn't watch the game (I was actually at my University soccer game), and only judged whether the elbow was intentional by looking at the instant replay. Maybe his elbows were a little too sharp all game, but that one didn't seem particularly malicious.

[–]JayBlRD -3 points-2 points ago

It looks like he barely brushed his cheek it doesn't look like his arm is even moving back towards his face that much. To me it appears that they are both faking an injury, but then again it is soccer so what do you expect.

[–]tottsBALEout 1 point2 points ago

Yeah you're right, taking an elbow to the face is a pleasurable experience.

[–]rewster 2 points3 points ago

I love that man.

[–]xboxer102 5 points6 points ago

They're all so shiny

[–]eats_shit_and_dies 3 points4 points ago

they rub the lotion on their skin or else they get the hose again

[–]ZeppelinJ0 1 point2 points ago

Love your flair.

[–]thegouch 5 points6 points ago

Haha I love how Bocanegra (captain) comes up in the background to assess the situation and has a look on his face like "hmm what are you doing??"

[–]Pfordy40 5 points6 points ago

That's insulting in some countries.

[–]unyieldinghope 2 points3 points ago

I think mocking someone is insulting in all countries

[–]diggro 0 points1 point ago

Not Chicago. It's expected.

[–]the_milf_hunter 11 points12 points ago

Dempsey is the shit.

[–]sjps220 2 points3 points ago

The beautiful game indeed

[–]DjKaiserCharles444 1 point2 points ago

After that he said "I am telling my mommy."

[–]aqhb11 2 points3 points ago

Dempsey's badassery has been long established. I believe it started with the release of his "Don't Tread" rap song back in 2006.

[–]LAX2PDX2LAX 1 point2 points ago

Klinsman looked like he wanted to play!

[–]wischichichichia 1 point2 points ago

Knew what this would be just from the title... love it.

[–]mrnoor 1 point2 points ago

That looked kind of shitty actually :/.. link provided from garc

[–]nikipinz 0 points1 point ago

He's just modeling for his bobblehead.

[–]4best2times0 0 points1 point ago

The taunt heard around the world...or seen.

[–]blog_farts 0 points1 point ago

The ol stink eye!

[–]SeaMenOnTheRocks 0 points1 point ago

Good one, Clint.

[–]repptar92 0 points1 point ago

Highest quality gif I done seen.

[–]alphadogkp 0 points1 point ago

Love how guy behind Dempsey is like, ok, that dude is mad, Dempsey taunting, fight soon?

[–]haltwhogoesthere 0 points1 point ago

mean mug that fool

[–]kesin 0 points1 point ago

Lol at Bocangera in the back...

[–]LookingForPlace 0 points1 point ago

Well just watched the highlights..As I missed last knight .Although it was the good match.

[–]mendosangel -1 points0 points ago

*I was browsing reddit when I decided to repost this would have been a better title. Just saying, LET THE DOWNVOTES BEGIN! Hahaha

[–]Wiskie -3 points-2 points ago

Dude, Clint is my favorite American player.

But is he still arguing with Fulham about not wanting to play with them? I don't understand exactly what's going on there.

[–]sooshi 3 points4 points ago

He's at Tottenham now

[–]blazingboom 3 points4 points ago

Update yo'self!

[–]DialSquare -4 points-3 points ago

Ah what a CLint.

It's a little better in person; it's got a subtle sash across it and some other stuff that's hard to pick up in photos/cam.

I don't have a picture of it with the new kit handy, but when combined with the traditional American Outlaws bandana worn over the face, similar to this (though I think that guy has his folded a little weird), the stars and stripes come together and looks pretty nice, in my opinion.
