Soccer Fan

To each his own.

WILMINGTON, DE—As the 2010 World Cup approaches, friends, family, and coworkers of 32-year-old Brad Janovich are growing less tolerant of the exuberant behavior of the United States’ lone soccer fan.

“Who’s got World Cup fever?” Janovich asked his officemates at Credit Solutions Friday, failing to notice their silent stares as he reported for work clad in the sole Team USA jersey sold this year. “I do! I’ve got World Cup fever!”

“Check out this World Cup wall chart I just bought,” added Janovich, who is the only American citizen currently aware that the World Cup begins June 11.

  1. The sad part is that we won’t be much more interested in the Women’s World Cup next year and the US is very likely to win it again.

  2. You are right, FL.  It was a funnier article back in June.

  3. One thing about the World Cup, I did learn a new word: vuvuzela.
