Sir, your Beckham is bent...
You can't deny the arrival and impact of soccer in America ANYMORE! It's a few weeks old, but I was lucky enough to get a chance to attend the NY Red Bulls\LA Galaxy MLS match at the Meadowlands in NJ. AND...if you're gonna catch a match, you might as well do it right and spend your day with the rowdiest, fun lovin'est, Beckham hatin'est, brat cookin'est, beer drinkin'est supporters club there is; The Empire Supporters Club. I don't know of any other team, not even the Browns, that gets the kind of support the Red Bulls do. I mean, do Browns fans bring a whole percussion section to the game??? Forget abo'it! Dig on the pix...er I mean...Soooooooy del Metro!
Aaron and Kinchy marching into the stadium.
Kinchy-"...hey Aaron, I don't get soccer...help a brother out..."
Aaron-"Just boooo when Beckham gets the ball..."
Yep, they even have a gynormous flag.
The guy in the blue on the right side in the corner is "THAT GUY" from across the pond. Love him or hate him, he put an extra 45 THOUSAND butts in the seats at the Meadowlands.
In the end, the good guys won 5 to 4 and everyone had a good time. If you get a chance, try to take in a match in person. It'll give you a REAL appreciation for what soccer is really like. It was a lot more exciting than I ever thought it was gonna be :)
