America ... coming to save the ... day, yeah!
I usually cheer for the underdog, which is why I'm not upset to see 'roided American track and field athletes lose to Africans, the Dream Team lose to Argentina, or Ford lose to Tata.
One sport where USA!USA!USA! is not the world power, is "soccer". At least not on the men's side.
So tomorrow will find me a patriot, cheering on the Red, White and Blue© when the US take on England at Wembley Stadium here in London.
And I'll be there in the flesh thanks to friendly 'merican "soccer" fan Andrew of California. Who is so kind as to part with his tickets for just $100 each (face value if you are the Queen and your face is on the currently overvalued British Pound Sterling).
www.sams-army.com has invited me to wear red to the match, and to learn the songs of the American firm/fan club in advance. Here are some that I immediately spotted as future classics:
Unbelievable
We're so good it's un-be-liev-a-ble!
(clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap-clap, clap-clap)
(Repeat)
US (Long)
(Clap - Clap - ClapClapClap - ClapClapClapClap)
US!
US (Short)
(Clap Clap Clap)
US!
I also like that they sing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", verbatim.
Go AMERICA!

it's not very original to wear red in a country whose national colours are... you guessed it! red and white (and a little blue)...

thanks anonymous. I wouldn't have known england wore red unless i ... lived here.
i'll send the US fan club that wikipedia link asap, and suggest that, for the first time ever, they should probably wear yellow or green or some other non red, white or blue color.
i kid of course.
and they spelled color wrong...
go america
the obvious solution would be for US to wear blue. england wears red and white (blue only exists because of scotland)
