The Great Escape Indeed

Danny Murphy

If you’re a United States Soccer Supporter, then that man is the one you want to kiss right now after his goal secured Fulham FC/USA’s Premiership status for the 2008/09 season, and so far has kept 5 Americans (and one Kiwi named Simon Elliot) in England’s top flight.

Danny Murphy’s 76th minute winner at Fratton Park (the team’s first) was enough to secure goal differential over Reading, who drubbed Derby away at Pride Park 4-nil.

Hahnemann, Convey, Lewis and Feilhaber as of now are set for relegation to the Championship and a decent little golden parachute.

As of now you ask? Think Seattle (big name signing), D.C (old team), San Jose (old, old team) or L.A. (home town & college) might be looking to make some adjustments?

Some of these guys might have a little stipulation that changes contract status if the team was relegated.
