WM in the USA: 'This is like a Super Bowl, but several times a day'

Even superheroes sweat, as Jay Robinson, who embodies Captain America, can attest. Wiping sweat from his brow before a game has even begun, Robinson explains the intense physical toll of his costume. The suit, constructed from three layers of wool, weighs approximately 2.5 kilograms (about 5.5 pounds). Over the course of a single game, Robinson loses an astonishing two to three kilograms (4.4 to 6.6 pounds) solely through perspiration.

Despite the personal discomfort, Robinson sees value in his role. He believes that as Captain America, the quintessential American superhero, he is uniquely positioned to explain the unfolding events surrounding soccer in the United States. His presence aims to bring clarity and perhaps a touch of heroic spectacle to the burgeoning popularity of the sport.

This is like a Super Bowl, but several times a day.

The context for Robinson's involvement appears to be the growing interest and events related to soccer within the US, which he likens to experiencing the excitement of the Super Bowl multiple times a day. His unique perspective, framed through the lens of a beloved American icon, offers a distinctive way to engage with the sport's increasing prominence.
