pictured above:
USA flag- purchased at the official 2008 beijing olympic green souvenir store on august 10, 2008. best use of 50rmb every – as i’ve worn it to 6 olympic events, one presidential inauguration party, and will be wearing it for the usa games.
nike usa soccer scarf – i think i bought this off eastbay.com before the 2006 world cup – maybe for $15?
nike usa authentic jersey/ jay demerit nikeID – my good friend zafar helped me to purchase this and then sent it over to me. i will be wearing it tomorrow night when i root on usa.

why demerit?
He was our second best defender last summer in the Confed Cup – and I think the most common jerseys would be Donovan, Dempsey and Altidore – so I went with something different.
That was before I knew he had a vision issue. But he had a pretty good game vs. England.
