Hamilton Represented at USA-England World Cup Match

If you were a Hamiltonian among the millions of American soccer fans who put life on hold Saturday afternoon to watch the U.S. vs. England World Cup match, you were not hallucinating when you thought you saw a familiar face when the TV camera panned the crowd.

There in the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, South Africa was Nick Sorosky singing along to the American National Anthem. With a Stars and Stripes headband and almost hidden by a full beard, Sorosky was the perfect image of a U.S.A. soccer fan.

Younger brother Josh says of Nick:

"He's been studying abroad in South Africa this past semester at the University of Cape Town. He finished school a couple weeks ago and started traveling around. But he bought tickets for the opening ceremony and a couple for the England vs. U.S.A opener. He was on ABC or ESPN singing during the Star Spangled Banner sporting an American flag bandanna and a pretty out of control beard."

Interestingly, while at HCS, Nick played football and not "futball". He also plays for the University of Rochester, where he is a senior.
