C.U. Loves Liverpool

Here’s an interesting look into the Colorado soccer scene (or the Boulder soccer scene at least; for those not from Colorado, Boulder is very different from the rest of Colorado, and both parties usually prefer it that way). I’m a student at CU and I had an unusual gap in my schedule today, so I sneaked over to the section of the Student Center where they actually have a big screen reserved for soccer fans on Champion’s League match days. Upping the number of European matches I can stand watching this year to 3, I took in the Pensioners – Reds game. It was actually an exciting game, even though I have contempt for both of those clubs.

However, while there, I learned something interesting: CU has an extremely devoted following of Liverpool fans. It was like a Liverpool pub in there. I’ve never seen such a concentrated collection of fans for a single European club like that in my life. Needless to say there was lots of obscene yelling during extra time. I just sat off to the side and tried to explain the away goals to a newcomer. So, in a month I’ll watch the Final between the Red Devils and Pensioners and put European soccer away in my mind and await the arrival of the only Champions League I really care about.
