Martin Rogers: Dempsey’s cup dreams keep him in Europe

United States international Clint Dempsey plans to end his career in the English Premier League and has no intention of returning to Major League Soccer.

American fans had hoped that Dempsey, who has established himself as one of Fulham’s best performers in the EPL, would follow the example of Brian McBride, Kasey Keller and others by coming home to play for a couple of years before retirement.

“If I had to say right now, MLS is not in my plans,” Dempsey said in an interview this week.

“No disrespect, but I want to finish at the highest level and I think the highest level is in Europe.”
