Bermuda is watching the New York Red Bulls

RBNY's outspoken draft pick brings with him quite a fan club: Bermuda; seemingly the entire nation of Bermuda.

It isn't often that the New York Red Bulls sign a player who has an entire country behind him, but that would seem to be the case with Zeiko Lewis: 17th overall pick of the MLS SuperDraft, Boston College standout, and a player for the Bermuda men's national team. When RBNY picked Lewis on Draft Day, Bermuda noticed.

As did many prominent Bermudians. Including former Manchester City striker Shaun Goater...

...current Huddersfield Town forward Nakhi Wells...

...Carlisle United's Reggie Lambe...

...Bermuda's Leader of the Opposition, David Burt MP...

...Bermuda's Minister of National Security...

...the Premier of the island nation...

...and many more.

No pressure, RBNY, but Bermuda is watching.
