I’d guess terrorists could figure out where the Americans are gonna be regardless.
As for harassment from the general public, it’s probably smart to be humble. It’s not the players’ fault that the American flag represents a country ignorant enough to be led by war criminals. Europeans probably recognize them better than we do.
