UNITE & STRENGTHEN

You see the American Outlaws.. I want to give a shout out to them, because they’ve been there every game and so supportive and its really our twelfth man and really motivates us to want to play well and be successful

Hats off to the American Outlaws, they have driven it on their own. They used to come in dribs and drabs and they have banded together and created a voice.It is brilliant for us now, to see the banners and the colors. They go where we go. For us as players it gives you goose bumps. There are men and women who have decided that it means something important in their life to get behind us and get loud and supportive. That is incredibly moving to me. The main thing is just to know their mindset, that they are right there to dig in and fight with you. Soccer is a team game and that extends to them.

Single-handedly changed the culture for soccer viewers in this country.

If you look at the process the American Outlaws went through over the last couple of years, it’s a fairytale story. It’s unbelievable when I tell people in Europe how they organize themselves in all the different chapters and how they organize all the different trips to the games. We played in Europe and they were there. There were even a couple hundred down in Trinidad & Tobago. The development of our fans over the last years is just unbelievable. We appreciate that.
