/me thinks Sams Army is a pretty self important organization.

[OriginalAEK]

I'm not sure what it is they accomplished. Quite frankly, i think sam's army is more of a social club than anything else.

[FlashMan]

self-important or not, the Army was in great form last Thurs. and looked great on tv.

well done.

Sam's Army is pretty visible when you look at the stadium. I would think that they would have more Sam's Army at the stadium, the group was pretty small at the game, it was only a section.

The only thing with being with Sam's Army - and the reason we didn't get our tickets with them - was because you HAVE to wear red. I know it's our color and all, but we had white National team jerseys that we wanted to wear - or else we'd had purchased our tickets with Sams' Army. But we were very vocal where we sat too - right behind the Mexico bench!

I didn't sit with the Army although I believed I am a registered member because I was sitting in the more expensive seats in the dead center of the field.

[Northside Rovers]

I am not a member - but would have liked to have sat with them.

Except it was difficult to get tickets in that same section.

Get the tickets blocked off easier and more people would buy them - or at least have a consistent way to request a section. Which may not have been possible this time.

I was there... and in the Sam's Army section. I don't consider myself 'self importiant' at all.

Remember.. it was a NOT a weekend game. If it was on a weekend, I know that the Sam's Army section would have been stonger. It was mostly a local Dallas/Houston group... and most of them had never been US game. Texas is a really big High School 'pointy end' football state, so it was somewhat approporate, and a bit humorious when a humorous "Hit 'em again harder harder" chant started up in the 1st half when a Mexican player went down.

At least they didn't try the infamous.... "1,2,3,4 what do you think those cleats are for... Let's Stomp 'Em" or "Rah Rah Ree, kick 'em in the knee. Rah Rah rass... kick 'em in the other knee" ;-)

Not sure if Sam's Army are "self important" or not. But, the folks in red seem to be the only one's standing and cheering in a somewhat organized fashion the whole game long.

Said the Houston Chonicle ... "Even though the Mexican fans held the numerical edge, the most eye-catching section of the Reliant stands was in the south end zone where members of Sam's Army stood out in their red shirts. "

US Soccer must think that Sam's Army is fairly importiant?? The Army gets a price break from US Soccer. A US Soccer official made sure that the Sam's Army banner was placed in the staduim before the game started.

And, the picture...
