My first matchday experience here in the United States this summer was a big, colourful, family affair.
Big Phil, the one-of-a-kind cheerleader I met in the stands wasn’t even all that into football - if he’s off his work and any US national team are playing, he told me, he’ll be there. This time he brought his dad, too.
And not to be outdone, my man-of-the-match, Diego Luna of Real Salt Lake (but born here in San Jose) had his family with him to watch him dismantle Dwight Yorke’s boys.
More Gold Cup Diaries coming up. I think it’s going to be an interesting summer….
