unofficial supporters' group for the United States men's national soccer
team. The name of the group derives from Uncle Sam, a national
personification of the United States, and the Scottish supporters' group
the Tartan Army. Sam's Army debuted at a 1995 U.S. Cup game following
the 1994 FIFA World Cup. There are currently over 14,000 members of
Sam's Army and has members throughout the world. Sam's Army is known for
wearing all red and usually standing behind a goal during United States
national team matches. George Vecsey of The New York Times described
Sam's Army as, "a relative handful of goofy characters in red outfits...
who follow the American team around the globe."
