Shout out @blknarancia and their Somali cool Joe post for reminding me how stupid I was.
When I started watching Supa Strikas there were a few characters I assumed were American that absolutely were NOT. I had never watched the show as a kid so keep in mind this is what I was thinking during like maybe the first 6 episodes? Idk, it was before Technicali showed up tho.
1. Cool Joe
I saw his Afro, Pic ( aka his "power comb" WE KNOW IT'S A PIC, CALL IT A PIC!!), heard his voice, and saw his love for jazz and thought. "Oh hey.. African American representation, fuck yeah." Turns out dude's Brazilian though so yeah, that was a fun thing to find out from a piece of fanart that was probably posted on deviant art ..
2. North Shaw
Yeah this fucker also had me fooled when he started beefing with the Hydra team. He started whipping out surfer slang and I went "Oh okay ... So he's the California surfer boy stereotype? I can get with that." ... He's Australian. That fucker is a god damn Aussie. Wanna know how I found out? THE SAME FUCKING DEVIANT ART FANART!!!
3. Hydra Fc (Yeah I know..)
Uh huh, yep, you heard right. I was so stuck on the American surfer stereotype that I just assumed Hydra was an American club. I know, stupid thought. But that's what my brain assumed.
You wanna know who WAS American tho !??!?

HIM. THIS MOTHER FUCKER IS AMERICAN !! I HAD ZERO CLUE. Maybe I had just missed something at the time, but when I found out I just couldn't believe he wasn't like the "Stereotypical American." Yeah he eats a lot but nothing really pointed out he was an American to me. I find the cool.
Also I went on twisting tigers wiki cause I was bored, and uhm.. Who the hell was in charge of working his wiki?
I want them fired NOW.
#supablr#supa strikas#yapping#American#I was actually really happy when technicali popped up#because like maybe it's my “American main character syndrome”#but seeing an American team playing soccer without them being egocentric or like assholes was a really nice experience#that might be why stupid American is my favorite trope tbh..#rather that than they make us look like assholes#shout out cosmos FC for making sure we still got the evil American trope#len: thoughts#idk i see Xander put this at the end of his rants#imma go with it.
