Bag back, cameramen, gimme 50 feet

I don't especially like cameramen, which is funny, because I'm quite the connoisseur of their work. In fact, anyone who watches TV is. But for real, cameramen. Chill out, before something bad happens to you.

First and possibly most dangerous, you may get dago saliva on you.


More intimidating, but possibly more worth it, the dreaded Argentine Falcon Punch.


So you can film these guys, sure, but don't get all up in their shit. It's annoying to everyone.

Get excited, Americans.

This is how it should be. Just listen.

Icehouse is Casahielo down here in Mexico this week, but that doesn't mean that my blood is Orange, White and Green. The Mexicans are excited too. We may be bitter rivals on the field, but our fates are still intertwined in more ways than one. Everybody's getting up for this one.

Listen to the video above. I've played the recording about 50 times already. It brings goosebumps. I can only imagine how great it will be if we make it past Ghana, which will already be more success than the United States has ever seen in the World Cup.

I love America and I love all of you.





More of the call at Los Fanaticos.

More amazing photos at OMG Yanks.

So you don't like soccer, huh?

Good. I'm glad. I'm glad that you perpetuate the myth that Americans are introverted. Shit, only twenty percent of us have passports. Fuck the rest of the world, right? You can get all the culture you need in Goodland, Kansas.

I'm glad you were watching American Idol. I'm glad you think that Nascar is cool.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I know you're alright. I know you guys are cool. Heck, the game versus Algeria was the most watched soccer game in ESPN history. Pretty awesome.

We're getting there, everybody. Soccer is finally becoming mainstream. The MLS will perpetually be awful, but what the hell. Our guys are doing pretty well in the big leagues, and the world no longer looks forward to playing us.

AMERICEY IS WATCHING!... ANYBODY NOT WANNA GO?!
