All the team buses at this summer's world cup will have the nation's flag painted on the back except one - the US team bus. This is because it wouldn't be safe to have Old Glory adorn the back of a bus.
If security of the team bus is that big a worry, then what about US fans, many of whom will travel with their flag? And, what about all US tourists to Germany, many of whom have "I am American" written all over them? Maybe Americans should just avoid Germany for the foreseeable future.
If ever there was any need of evidence that soccer ain't the game for America, this is it.
