Tears for Football

Watching soccer, and being around soccer, in the US is night and day when compared to Europe. When you watch and enjoy soccer in the US, you are different, you are an outcast—even weird would be a great description for you. When you watch soccer in Europe, you are in, you are studly, and you are the center of life as we know it.

What mixed messages, what pain if you are a soccer fan! King in one world, village idiot in another.

Well, are you an idiot? You must be one like me because we watch soccer, and in a crowd, voices go silent when you scream for foul or goal. I feel for you, you champions of the World’s sport. You are the World Sport. You are the beginning of reality for this country.

I was there in Gelsenkirchen with the thousands that got stuck on the trains. You were there when McBride took an Italian elbow to the face.

Blow-for-blow, you and I will be there, and to make matters better, I will be helping the next-starts who will own the pitch in 2014 and beyond.
