US Soccer...

I sometimes wonder... Am I the crazy one? Am I the one who was born on the wrong continent and grew up loving something that most people in the US couldn't give a fuck about?

But then I look around and I'm happy. I'm happy that I understand a sport that is generally regarded as "European". I'm happy that I'm not one of the bandwagon "ESPN sports fans" in the United States. I'm happy that I've taken the time to get it... to understand that you can lose to someone is just plain better than you... to understand that the United States of Entitlement doesn't translate past these borders and that we can't just win because we're the USA... to understand that on some days, the best team doesn't always win.

Do I think I'm better than you? Not a chance. Do I think you should get the fuck out of my way and allow me to follow my passion? Definitely. Now get the fuck out of my way.
