Last year ESPN commenter John Harkes finally color commentated something interesting when he called out Clint Dempsey for looking lazy and disinterested during the Confederations Cup. It was the first time anyone on ESPN had said anything interesting about soccer since Wynalda got fired for slicing and dicing Bruce Arena in 2006. Well guess who's firing back (like 8 months later).
"He criticized me in [Confederations Cup] for looking tired and said I should be benched, but I was top three in distance covered in the whole tournament.. It’s funny that he criticized me so much and yet I feel like I’ve done more in my international career than he has. Just compare our national-team stats. I’ve also scored in a World Cup, scored three goals in Confederations Cup, and got the Bronze Ball for third-best player in the whole tournament. Look at what he’s done."

Yes lets look at what John Harkes has done. Last year in the Confederations Cup he correctly pointed out that Clint Dempsey looked lazy and disinterested. Harkes was right, Clint was infuriating during that tournament. He refused to track back, he didn't make decisions quickly, was careless with the ball and somehow was still our most effective offensive player. Imagine how we could have done if he had put in the slightest bit of effort.
How about this Deuce? You shut your hole, score goals and let us fans sit back and ogle your wife. You think you can manage that?
