I am a UK native somehow transplanted to Denver and the Rocky Mountains. I am grateful that Dick's Sporting Goods Park has been built so I can enthusiastically follow my adopted team, the Colorado Rapids. No more playing in a silent American football stadium. In the UK, I follow Gillingham FC, the birthplace of my Dad and a perennially unsuccessful team. Being from England, I therefore know all about suffering with your team and sticking with them come what may. My eldest son was born down the road from Stamford Bridge and rightly follows Chelsea so at least I get some respite.
I am a journalist by training who simply wants to share some thoughts about soccer from a joint US/UK/European perspective. This blog will largely focus on the Rapids but we'll see where it leads us.
