The "Where's Waldo" of U.S. soccer: can you spot yours truly in the photo?
The Guardian has the most excellent thing I have read since the headline "Paris Hilton Goes to Jail" was splashed across my monitor a few days ago. It's a piece giving a big shout out to the MLS and US Soccer supporter's groups! Our countrymen may not be paying attention but apparently the British can hear us all the way in bloody London!
Read it all here. Although it starts out telling the tale of Sons of Ben (who don't have a team but apparently they've got a shit-hot publicist because I've read at least 3 stories on them in the past 2 months), but then everyone and their mother gets a shout: ESC, Barra Brava, Riot Squad, Section 8, Sam's Army. It's basically a Wu Tang-style posse cut of American firms.
So pat yourselves on the back, have a celebratory drink and song boys & girls...you're hardcore, you know the score.

Big shouts to my Russian cousin over at NewlyLostEdge for tipping me off to the piece.

Play up ye yanks!
Steven Wells is a crazy bastard who has spent a long time in the U.S. Sometimes he goes way over the top, but that was a great piece, thanks for the link. I'm glad I'm not the only Brit banging the drum about U.S. supporter's groups.
