elder brothers?

You might not know it, but there are many reasons to root for the United States during the World Cup. I have plenty of them, personally. But what about you, the casual sports fan who wants to get acquainted with the team in an informative yet casual manner in the lead up to the World Cup? Well, it turns out you’re in luck — in the next series of posts, I will explain why you absolutely have to LOVE this US National Team. Hop on board!

When Bob Bradley announced his 30-man roster last week, the bulk of the media attention was focused on the omission of Charlie Davies and the uncertainty over which strikers will be selected for the final 23-man roster. But to me, the real story has nothing to do with strikers and roster spots — it’s all about the bedazzles!

You see, DaMarcus Beasley is on the cusp of making the US National Team again because of his experience and fearlessness attacking out of midfield. This is great news for our squad for several reasons, but none is larger than the fact that our team will be the only one in South Africa with a player who has his own line of jewelry — the first footballer in history to do so, no less! Eat it, Cristiano Ronaldo!

If you have a moment, I highly recommend you spend a moment or two browsing our right midfielder’s jewel selection. Or if you’d rather connect online via social networking, I recommend checking out the The DaMarcus Collection’s Facebook profile. Either way, you know you’ll be scoring in style when you’re blingin’ with the Beas’.

Maybe you love jewelry as much as DaMarcus does, or maybe you just love the way he plays the game. Either way, you clearly have to root for DaMarcus Beasley and the United States next month during the World Cup. Ft. Wayne’s finest will take us to the promised land!
