‘It may happen’- Stricker to getting a tattoo in a pre-event interview

A few days before the commencement of the cup, Stricker was asked if he will get a tattoo commemorating their win. Uncertain even then, he said, “We’ve discussed tattoos… The problem is my girls, my wife, and kids, have always asked me to get a tattoo and I’m like, ‘I’m not putting any decals on my body. ‘So, I’d have to check with them first.”

He also said, “The players gave me an idea what I could put on there. I told them where I was going to put it. It was going to go right on my cheek,” he said, pointing to his bu*tocks. “We’ll see what brings about that, but we may have a tattoo artist guy come in on Sunday night. One way or another, it may happen.”

Sports content writer Justin Ray took to Twitter to display his unhappiness at Stricker’s decision. While reflecting the sentiment of the fans, he jokingly said, “A half-point has been subtracted from Team USA’s score because of this.”
