The forced break always brings with it the longing for more Liverpool football. I remember the moment I’d fallen in love with this sport. It was a February, in 2001, and my high school soccer team was locked in a tight match with opponents from a boarding school. This was a unique experience because my team were comprised of inner city kids like me. We were cast into the California’s Prep League because our school size was so small and this was the only league we could be . Most of us were bussed to school, so driving up on our team bus through the student parking lot filled with Audi’s, BMW’s, and, I think, a McLaren F1 was quite the moment.
Anyway, the thing about this game wasn’t just the location - a space that, economically speaking, most of my teammates and I could only dream of...
