So I am from the States and I am a new Everton and EPL fan. I am excited to say I am purchasing tickets to the International Champions Cup this summer to watch Man U vs. Liverpool in Ann Arbor (an hour from my home). It will be my first ever English football game. Obviously I would prefer it to be Everton but I am excited still. My question is.. I want to enjoy the game so should I show up in my Everton Rooney kit or show love to one of the teams playing? If it's acceptable to support another side, which side? My gut says no to Liverpool but I need guidance! Thanks in advance!

Welcome mate as a new Everton supporter , also welcome to GOT
The questions you have asked are difficult to pin down exactly how you must approach this match its always going to be a matter of opinion , IMO taking into account this is a friendly match in the USA and your team is not playing it should be not taken it too seriously to not enjoy the day out at the match
Myself being born and bred a Scouser into a Evertonian family , moved to South Africa some time ago , in some way I also can relate to your situation but in my case firstly I would not be seen dead in a Manure UTD or R/S [Poor language removed] - , also would not consider shouting for either side
South Africa there are regular visits of EPL teams or PL road shows , I dont normally go unless Everton come out , but from what I have seen on TV there other EPL , LA LIGA , BUNDESLIGA shirts worn at these events
Therefore I suggest - If you are concerned an Everton shirt would get you into trouble dont wear any colours which depends how serious this is taken in the USA , if its only a bit of banter exchanged put on your Rooney shirt and " give them stick " !
