US Men's National Team forward Clint Dempsey dinked a delightful chip that sunk the dagger into Juventus in the Europa League yesterday.
Fulham had been down 3:1 after the away trip to Turin, and battled back after giving up an early goal to Juventus to bring the tie level at 4:4. Then, Deuce Dempsey struck with the no look wedge shot from just off the green.
Every time I watch it, I get goosebumps. I've told many friends that I will retire on the spot, if I ever get good enough to chip a keeper in a game. That, to me, is the pinnacle of skill and audacity. As it is, I'm sure I'll be playing for years to come, because a shot like that is just brilliant!

I remember the claim well. Glad he will not retire! Sweet shot. Sublime chip.
