With Hanukkah already underway and Christmas mere days away, The Yanks Are Coming presents our first annual Top 5 holiday gifts for soccer fans. From the latest in kits to books that may change the way you view the game, you’ll surely find a gift for that special soccer hooligan in your life (or something awesome for yourself). Hate the list? Then go buy a Yanks shirt.
In no particular order…

While Becks may or may not actually end up in France, you can impress your friends with this sweet nouveau-riche Ligue 1 side Paris St. Germain t-shirt made by Nike.

Imagine yourself at an American Outlaws tailgate wearing this baby. Enough said.
