Clint Dempsey named to final U.S. Men's National Team roster for Copa America Centenario

U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has made his final roster decisions for June's Copa America Centenario and Seattle Sounders forward Clint Dempsey has made the final cut.

After being named to the provisional 40-man roster earlier in May, Dempsey hasn't been shy expressing his desire to play in this summer's historic tournament, which is being held in the United States for the first time.

“It’s an opportunity to do well in a major competition on home soil,” Dempsey told reporters earlier this week. An opportunity to get back on track after not winning Gold Cup or the Confederation Cup playoff game.
