Sammy van Nistelrooij


It is tough for team USA. Most soccer fans in the US support other teams. I see cars with English flags, little German flags on mailboxes, and lots of Mexican banners everywhere. Our home is decorated with an Orange flag, but nowhere I see support for the Americans. On the contrary, people do not understand how USA could lose to Ghana. It's a shame, US is fifth in the Fifa ranking, Ghana is 49th. It's no use explaining that the Fifa ranking has not very close to reality, and that Ghana probably has the stronger team. On the fourth of July we'll wave the American flag again, until then we fly orange.
