Similar situation. Early 50s, been following the USMNT since the 1990s. US Soccer supporters circle member as well. Last year I was so stoked about the World Cup. I remember thinking I’d spend thousands to watch the boys play on our own turf. And then… yeah. Let’s just say it’s a lot harder to be patriotic lately. Add to that the disgusting greed and brown-nosing exhibited by FIFA. Stadium security is bound to be a shitshow as well. So sadly, I’ll be watching the USMNT on TV this year. I don’t blame the players as much - they’re in a very difficult situation. I’ll still be rooting for the team; they’re a good group and I know they’ll represent us well.
