Clint Dempsey will join Lionel Messi on the cover of FIFA 15 in North America.

Seattle Sounders FC played an international club friendly today against EPL side Tottenham Hotspur, a team that Clint Dempsey was more than familiar with.  While the match was very entertaining and ended in a 3-3 draw, the gaming news that comes out of this is that Dempsey was announced as a cover athlete for the upcoming FIFA 15.  EA Sports has had more than its fair share of split covers, often catering to multiple regions.  With Dempsey's popularity at an all-time high thanks to a great showing in Brazil in the World Cup, this move made perfect sense.

FIFA 15 will launched in North America on September 23.
