I don't know where or when it will be, but I can see an opposing player tackling Clint, or perhaps pushing him as if to say "You're not in Foxboro anymore", and Clint not taking it lying down.
So maybe a first game red card? Kind of like how on your first day in prison you should beat somebody up so that everyone else will leave you alone?
He'll score a brace and get a yellow after each goal celebration and get sent off! If Graham Poll is the referee he'll get the hat trick.
Then he'll grab his privates, point at the imaginary watch on his wrist ... well, you know how that goes ...
My first game prediction, Gooch tackles the ball away, Boca collects, sends a long ball forward for McBride to nod down to the trailing Dempsey, who riffles an unstoppable half-volley high into the corner of the net. A game-winner, in stoppage time, of course! One can dream, can't he?
After scoring a goal, he will grab a can of Red Bull, take a sip, then spit it out. Oh wait, wrong league. Never mind!
Dempsey will dedicate his first game performance to the "BS posters who made this day possible." "Thanks guys, you know who you are."
You seem to know a lot about it. Who else here is posting from the big house? I'm a short-timer myself. Who here's gonna stake me when I get out? Anyway, back to predictions, I'll predict that Clint will not say anything remotely like the following in his pregame comments: "I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war."
Hey, anybody have an idea what is jersey number will be. I will splash out for that. As for my prediction: comes in at halftime b/c Fulham is barely hanging on. Provides the commentators with an opportunity to remark at how rare it is to find a quality American field player. They'll mention Brad Friedel, MH, and TH. Dempsey will look a bit lost for 5 min. First time he gets the ball, he plays it safe. 2nd time, he'll take someone on, and draws a foul. McBride will score off the free kick. Dempsey will be show flashes throughout the game, but nothing spectacular.
