In the semifinal of the Women’s World Cup today, the United States faced down Germany for the chance to go to the final. And in the crowd, we saw broadcast on TV a kid wearing a Captain America costume cheering for the US. I wonder if there was a German kid wearing a Red Skull costume cheering for Germany. They didn’t show it, but it was broadcast on American TV, after all, so they wouldn’t, would they? But Germany wore red uniforms, so it would have been quite appropriate color-wise.
(The Red Skull was a WWII-era German super villain who was Captain America’s arch nemesis in the comic books.)
