The 34-year-old striker is one away from tying Landon Donovan for most career U.S. goals, and history suggests it won't be long before he does
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Scoring goals in bunches against Trinidad & Tobago in home World Cup qualifiers has become a tradition for the U.S. national team in recent years, with a total of 10 in the last three home qualifiers against the Soca Warriors.
The Americans will be favored to continue that trend when the teams meet on Thursday, and Clint Dempsey stands a good chance of adding to that total. He is currently just one behind Landon Donovan on the USMNT's career goals list, and could tie or break the record if he can recapture the scoring form that helped him notch four during the March qualifiers.
