Are the American Outlaws Essentially Dead?
I’m at the match and we are getting out cheered by 3,000 fucking Bosnia supporters. At a home World Cup knockout game. It’s embarrassing.
The Outlaw sections behind the goal are completely dead. No cheering, no energy it’s pathetic. Seems like a bunch of Outlaw members sold their tickets to make a quick buck. In theory, this match should have 3,000 Bosnia fans (through their PMA), 3,000 Outlaws, and the rest USA fans who won tickets through the FIFA lottery.
Not all of these USA fans are knowledgeable about the game or even care about soccer. It’s a social status thing, I get it. The guy sitting next to me is explaining the match to his mom and girlfriend, like the most basic soccer concepts. Which I understand, SF has a ton of money so people here can drop $1,500 on tickets no problem to show off on social media.
But that’s where the Outlaws are supposed to come in. They are supposed to be our rowdiest fans, getting the whole stadium of USMNT fans cheering to drown out the 3,000 Bosnia supporters. But the Outlaws are nowhere to be found.
I understand the Outlaws didn’t get an allotment of tickets. Shame on USSF for not giving them some, just trying to make money through their Insider bullshit. And shame on every Outlaw who was lucky enough to get tickets through the Outlaws in the supporters section but sold it to make a quick buck.
Embarrassing all around.
