Thanks salty, I like to get as many beers down for the games myself. So getting loaded for game time might not be the family thing to do, BUT, I think most soccer fans need a brew or two in order to start yelling nice and loud.
Funny story, I went to several DC United games a couple of summers ago. I drank about a 6 pack during the game and had a nice buzz going as most of them went down the final 45 minutes of the game. After the game we were heading for the metro train and just as I was going to go into the train the doors shut in my face. I had one big silver ring on my finger and I sorta went "damnit" and tapped my ring on the metal part of the door. The sound my ring did echoed throught the whole station in a freaky resounding way and some cop started yelling at me for punching the door. I was trying to tell him I only tapped my ring on the metal but he was having nothing of it. "ID please" and about 4 more cops surrounded me, like I was going to run away or something, very odd. I handed over my ID and the cop got on the radio and gave all my info to "central station", God knows, maybe the FBI have me down on some watch list now. Soon after my record is clean and he hands me back my ID and gave me a speech about how this was DC and they don't go around breaking doors here. I couldn't help but feel like I was in the twilight zone, this was pre 9-11 and these guys got all huffy and puffy over the sound. I swear to this day all I did was tap my hand on the side of the train and boom all this happened. I suppose the beers made my finger a bit heavy, who knows. My girlfriend laughed at me the whole way back because she said the whole time I had this clueless look on my face like I had no clue what the problem was.
