...hats); there were Elvis impersonators and even some moron in an Uncle Sam outfit. We were rolling. "It's going to be like a snowball, like Lance Armstrong winning the Tour," asserted Christian Kantlehner, 23, from Rutland, Vermont, anticipating a U.S. win. The American fans got a good rhythmic chant going before the game started, (not the usual U-S-A) and sounded absolutely patriotic during the playing of the national anthem. That is to say, they actually sang the words - must have been a well-educated bunch - and produced a massive American flag. It was, in fact, quite moving...

Last June, just before he threw the green flag at the NASCAR event at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., tens of thousands of fans began to chant, "MOLTO! MARIO!"--a reference to Molto Mario, one of the five Food Network shows in which he has starred since 1996. NASCAR was impressed.
