Where's David James? He's Dracula because he's afraid of crosses.

I can't believe it. They've got DARREN SAWATSKY in that list, and no sign of Clintinho, Run-DMB, or Big Bad Brad! And they list John Harkes as "Captain America" with no mention of Claudio Reyna!

No actually, I thought the Dracula nickname was well known, at least around these parts.

Notice:
A.) Several of the nicknames mentioned are used as derogitory names from other supporters (i.e. Rangers-Huns, Boca-Bosteros)
B.) They have the U.S. down as Sam's Army
