USA Supporters
i thought i bring up a thread discussing some of the stuff that goes on in the USA Supporters since we have many games coming up this summer.
firstly, i am not the person in charge, no one is. whats the difference between us and Sams Army? well, my opinion is that the group started b/c of things we didn't like about sams. i am not going to go into bashing SA, so what we are about is
representing the national team at matches putting aside our club teams to STAND the entire match, and VERBALLY support the team.
we are about being loud and supporting the team during the game. sure tailgating is important, but thats a side stuff, the most important thing is during the game.
if you are interested in meeting mostly younger, energy charged, people who mostly wear red (to support the team) brings flags/banners, and sing their a$$ off and stand the whole match, we are the ones you want to be with. racism is not tolorated, but we also don't worry about saying a 'dirty' word or trashing the other team, or care if the soccer mom 100 rows over is upset with what we are saying.
so if you are interested in joing us or getting more info, check out USA Supporters or post here.

we also are putting together a 'non-official' banner/flag for each game the team plays. the banner will not be owned by one person, but by all who belong to the supporters group. the flag/banner will be passed from one person to the other for whomever will be going to the next game, this way we can have it at each match.
we have no official logo/design/whatever and this is not copy-righted, so if you like it, go ahead and make one yourself if you'd like. if you are interested in helping with the costs (more the merrier) post here for more info, or joining the mailing list group at USA Supporters although i am unsure of the exact numbers (maybe someone else has it) i beleive we have a couple of hundred people on the list, and new members are always welcome.
view the banner/flag here, the tentitive size is 8"x14"

I personally have no problems with Sams Army but I like this group better. Havent been to a game with them yet but they do seem more energetic and louder.
