Clint Dempsey may not have been called into either of the past two United States training camps, but he still sees himself as having a future with Jurgen Klinsmann and the national team. Dempsey's last turn with the national team came in a much criticized performance against Mexico in the CONCACAF Cup, which cost the USMNT a spot in the 2017 Confederations Cup.
The former USMNT captain said Klinsmann gave him a heads up before it was announced he had been left off the World Cup qualifying roster in November and gave him a choice about attending the current training camp.
