Believe it or not, his outfit is the least of his problems.
Happy as I am that the US managed a tie against England on Saturday, it makes me a bit worried. There was a certain type of US soccer fan that was bad enough before. Now? I'm getting worried.
It can only get worse from here. Superfans were bad enough when the US never won anything important. No matter how tiny and inept the other team was, these guys would celebrate like we won the World Cup itself. If you didn't get excited that we outscored Guam, they'd accuse you of personally holding back the American soccer program.
The worst was that they'd always get excited that we qualified for the Cup. We play in CONCACAF, guys. Mexico is good but the rest? Not so much. It's like bragging about how you were first in your class in kindergarten. Nicely done; everyone else was eating paste.
If the US manages to make it into the next round, it's all over.

They got into the quarterfinals in 2002. I'm not sure what Americans were like at the time because I was living in Germany. But that was fun.
ReplyDelete2002 was fun. I love it when the US does well. It's the missionary zeal that turns me off the Superfan.
