Remember this guy, the 'Plasma Man' from Gelsenkirchen. His actual name is Chad Bishop and he is from Houston, Texas. His story is one of the more bizzare from this World Cup. Going back to last year his wife said that there was no way in hell he was going to Germany to support the national team on the family account - so like every die hard supporter he had to figure out a way to raise the money for this very expensive trip.

His solution...go to the blood bank twice a week for seven months and save the money he got for donating his claret. Obviously he has plenty to spare because his energy was infectious to all the American fans last night in Kaiserslautern. click here to listen to the full story.
