...same week, Clint Dempsey, a star forward of Team USA, signed for the London club, Fulham, where he'll join other USA stars Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra and possibly soon also Oguchi Onyewu on the playing staff. There he'll play against the likes of his national team captain Claudio Reyna and winger DaMarcus Beazley, who play for Manchester City, midfielder Bobby Convey at Reading and goalkeepers Tim Howard (Everton) and Brad Friedel (Blackburn). In case the point here is missed, the marquee name American players - like their counterparts from Africa and Latin America - will mostly play in Europe, which...
