I dunno, I had trouble reading much of the article and I did try.

You and me both. He can’t seem to stay on point, much less make a point.

I suppose he’s bothered that American soccer fans have become exactly like the drunken oxen that Euro soccer fans have always been. I’ll never forget reading about how one Italian fanatic reacted to his favorite soccer player being transferred to another Italian rival team—throwing himself in front of a train.

I love the game, but the fans ruin it.

I found it interesting because he was mocking a subset of people I've also noticed - the people always out to prove they're more European (generally because they've spent more than two weeks there) than the Americans they're forced to interact with. The same people who want to discuss how Russian ballet or French movies are soooo much better than their American counterparts or how sophisticated German pop music is.

The article was more interesting than watching soccer anyway. By a long shot.
