FC Don't Think Why Can't is a defunct American amateur football club located in Raleigh, North Carolina.

History
West Mifflin FC proper was founded in 2008. However, the club is made up of remnants of West Mifflin Youth Soccer Club's of the past. These include mainly, but not exclusively, sides 'Reed' (the Wildcats) and 'Dorney' (the Clam Boofers). It is considered historical fact that the men that made up the Wildcats were and still remain, the best group of footballers not only to graduate from the West Mifflin Academy, but to lace up boots for any West Mifflin Club.

Starting at the U-10 level, the Wildcats trained, played, and grew together into a footballing force no one from the largest borough in the country had ever seen; going undefeated in its first season and only losing two over their first three years.

West Mifflin's biggest rival is Elizabeth Forward FC for no other reasons than the two towns border each other and it's cool to say/type 'the Route 51 Derby'. In fact, midfielder Bob Stinner went to pre-school with EF forward Ryan Abels. Abels also frequently went on lavish vacations to Myrtle Beach with midfielder Chris Reed, striker Trevor Kidd, and more recently, retired striker Tom Klein. The two teams did not play each other in WMFC's inaugural season in 2008 but the Blues hold a 2-0 lead in the all-time series, having won both matches last season with scores of 4-3, and 5-4.

Colours and badge
West Mifflin FC's colours are royal blue, yellow, and white.

The West Mifflin FC badge is the Middlesbrough FC badge (totally jacked), in blue and white, with West Mifflin Football Club on a waving banner below. Ingenuity at it's finest.

Stadium
As of today (this is, however, still pending) West Mifflin FC plays their home matches at Titan Stadium at West Mifflin Area High School.

After some serious wheeling and dealing (a few e-mails), Manager Bob Stinner was able to secure a lease deal with West Mifflin Soccer Club that would allow the Blues to play their five regular season home matches on the pitch that many of the first team players played during their secodnary school years.

The deal is still pending, but many 'higher ups' are confident the lease will be signed soon.

Supporters
West Mifflin FC fans are generally considered...non-existent. However, sometimes a players' mum or two shows up with the family dog.

Reed's girlfriend shows up sometimes too - mainly after he eats too much on Saturday night and can't ride her home because he's so bloated he can't fit into his car.

Sometimes, Jared Pcholinski's dad shows up and a shouting match ensues between his old man that wears eleventy-five bracelets and sits on the rickety old bench on the Borland hillside and the Blues' #10 in the middle of the park.

Before a freak injury and an addiction to snorting drywall dust ended striker Tom Klein's career, his father and midfielder Bob Stinner's father frequented games and were often seen at the far ends of the pitch conversing together and seeing who could smoke the most cigarettes before the end of each half.
