Mission: To support the United States National Team through a unified and dedicated group of supporters. History: The American Outlaws originally started as a local Lincoln, Nebraska supporters group. The group attended as many games as their budget would allow them. Some of the most memorable highlights over the last few years were US - Mexico in Columbus, OH, the 24 hour drive to Hartford for the US – Latvia game followed by the 24 hour drive back, the Germany World Cup experience, and the 2007 Gold Cup Semis and Finals. With each trip this group of dedicated supporters began to see a lack of real organization between each city that they attended, some games would be well organized with US soccer events and others would have nothing planned around the event. This fact was highlighted the day of the US vs. Ghana game when nothing was organized before the biggest US soccer game since the US vs. Germany game in the 2002 World Cup. With a country as big as the United States organization is a critical aspect to creating a unified culture of soccer fans. The more that the fans are united the greater our game day presence will be- creating a loud, intimidating atmosphere at home and neutral sites. Importance of Supporters: Whether you are looking at soccer, football, baseball, or basketball it is apparent at any sport that the home team has a major advantage with great fans. With a loud organized group of fans the United States can gain a huge advantage in any competition that the National Team takes apart in and that will only happen through organization at both local and national levels. Importance of Supporters to Players: Of course fans always think they can make a difference, but the point was driven home when we meet Frankie Heyduk outside US –Czech game in Gelsenkirchen, Germany and said, “Be loud you don’t know how much it means to the players” As we enter into a new chapter of The American Outlaws as a national organization we look forward to many more highlights and through the community we hope we can accomplish our goals of accelerating the knowledge, commitment, and organization of US fans. Take part in next era of US Soccer Supporters and become an Outlaw. |
