With US Out of World Cup, Co-worker Inexplicably Becomes Brazil Fan
Nuremburg, Germany – Despite the United States being eliminated from competition at the World Cup, marketing intern Drew Callahan still cares about it for some reason.
The US lost 2-1 to Ghana on Thursday, and failed to advance out of the first round.
"The last couple weeks, Drew was all, 'the US team this,' and 'Landon Donovan that.' I didn't care - it just seemed easier to humor him," said data entry specialist Tim Forrester.
"But I thought it would end once the US was out of the World Cup," added Forrester. "Now he's all 'Brazil this,' and 'Ronaldinho that.' He's not Brazilian. It's just weird."
Forrester was not the only person confused by Callahan's continued interest.
"When the US played, he came in wearing a big floppy, red white and blue hat, I thought, 'okay, cool. He's supporting the team,'" said receptionist Jennifer Mitchell.
"But then he comes in yesterday,and he's got a miniature Brazilian flag painted on his cheek. What's up with that?"
