You know, there was a time that I thought, “if you ever get into soccer for some reason, Liverpool makes a lot of sense since you are such a Sox fan.” Then I had to go to Selhurst Park for my first pro game while I was in London to see a 49ers/Jaguars game. So instead of watching this amazing display with great interest as a fan of one of the teams playing , I’m holding on for a win against Stoke or West Brom to make sure Palace stay up.
On the other hand, a year or two before that, I tried to go to a Roma-Lazio game for my first European professional game and wasn’t allowed in because I didn’t live in Rome. So maybe it could be worse and I’d have been a Roma fan.
