Clint Dempsey Seattle Soccer and Memorabilia

Some questioned Clint Dempsey's move from the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club to play with the Seattle Sounders in MLS (Major League Soccer). He had even question himself if he had made the right move. With two years left on his contract with Tottenham, a $9 million dollar transfer fee was worked out. Signed on as a "designated player" to the Seattle Sounders, $32 million will be dished out to Dempsey over a three and a half year period.

At Seattle, Dempsey figures that he will have more freedom to with the soccer ball and try new techniques.

Wall decals and other soccer memorabilia are featured here for those soccer lovers who want to spruce up their rooms.

Jurgen Klinsmann, the German genius, might not have loved Dempsey's move to MLS. Moving from Premier League to MLS is a major step down for the skipper of the United States National Team. While Michael Bradley was considered to be the best choice for the position, the 30-year-old was given the captain's armband in March 2013. When asked why Deuce was chosen as the captain of the USMNT, the German coach replied, "This is one of the reasons why I made him captain, because the players look at him, they see this kind of hunger and they see this drive."

Klinsmann also described the ex-Spurs player to be one of the best players in US history. But his transfer to Seattle Sounders FC has sparked a big debate among followers of the USMNT. Dempsey, who left Furman University's men's soccer team last year in order to play Champions League football, has officially given up his dream. Indeed this is a great signing for MLS and Seattle but it is a fact that MLS does not offer the same level of play as EPL.

Clint Dempsey made 22 starts for Tottenham last season, all in all making 29 appearances in his last season in Premier League. He netted 7 goals in the league and he did it by making 2.4 shots per game. He was the third highest goal scorer for the side, after Gareth Bale and Jermain Defoe. He also delivered 33 key passes last season. His passing accuracy was also good and had a completion rate of 81.3 percent.

But Clint Dempsey could have seen the bench more than ever this season. It is an important season for all the players as everyone would want to prove their fitness for the World Cup. Dempsey would get more playing time at Seattle. This might prove to be a blessing in disguise. Still the coach Jurgen Klinsmann would have preferred that the striker had rather moved to Everton than Seattle.

Here are some soccer wall decals for your favorite soccer player boy, girl or adult. Find many more on Amazon. Some of these decals offer you to customize it with your child's (or your) name and player number.

Soccer was not as important of a sport when I was growing up. But now it is one of the most popular sports among young people and even adults. This is an activity that nearly all elementary to high school children have available to participate in. I do know many women who call themselves soccer moms. You may be familiar with one popular politician soccer mom who saw Russia from her house.

What your child likes now in room decorations may not be what they like a couple of years from now. Painting your child's wall with black and white latex interior paint to resemble soccer balls, because after all you are a creative and pleasing parent, may all seem like a great idea in the present time. Then a couple of years from now, your child may be tired of that look and want something else. With the every changing taste of your child's (and adults too), it may make better sense to spruce up the bedroom walls with removable wall decals.

To complete the bedroom wall with the soccer theme, a plain light switch plate and outlet cover will not do. Two types of soccer ball styles, one with the ball pattern and the other with one large black and white soccer ball as shown in the photo.

There are many more with soccer players too. This is ideal when decorating a child's bedroom completely with a soccer ball theme. It is also fun to decorate every room or just the man cave with these electrical plates to spruce up the room.
