Tampa, FL - Tampa native Oscar Todd stated that he was excited to watch the national team in the 2018 World Cup as he looked forward to the opening game where the national team will take on Saudi Arabia.

"I believe that we can take down Saudi Arabia and if they don't take them down we will go get their oil," stated Todd to The Nutmeg News. "All jokes aside, I'm looking forward to see what Cherchesov does with our center backs and whether Miranchuk can actually score."

"I'm a big believer that we will be able to do well at this World Cup," stated Todd to his conspiracy theory subreddit where he frequently writes historical fiction about an alternate world 4th Reich. "I think we have the players, and I think we have the spirit. I'm hoping for a great result."

Todd admitted that he was never really a soccer fan but the chance to combine his extreme patriotism with jingoistic race baiting meant that the World Cup was a perfect opportunity to explore the beautiful game.

"I'm excited to watch the games as they unfold and I plan on covering what this means for my people."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Todd starts on his new fiction post titled, "Global Super Power: the rise of the Russian United States."
