ReplyDeleteUncle Sam's Army: The United States soccer team
ReplyDelete@ Above commenter:
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure (Uncle) Sam's Army is the name of the U.S. support club. The national team doesn't have a nickname (or at least one that the media uses).
I've heard that when playing Mexico, the Mexicans will refer to the Americans as "Los Gringos."
If I were to guess at a name for U.S.A. that would be used internationally, I would have to go with the Yanks.
