People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that’s why there were all kinds of myself. There weren’t a lot of myself per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that’s all.

A Sign Of The Times

Is it me or does anyone else feel like soccer fandom in the United States is building towards a realistic tipping point? Are we that far away from a time when the casual sports fan will care about soccer when it isn’t World Cup related? Maybe the degree I surround myself with sports media has me even more separated from the casual fan than I realize. This photo, on the other hand, makes me think otherwise.

Torn

Team USA versus Team Japan. I’ll be over here, watching and wibbling and gnashing my teeth over each goal.

I mean, I am getting ferklempt over both national anthems.
