I was captivated a bit back when the premier league took off in states around 02 or 03? I have played the game since I was knee high, love the game, became a level 6 USSF official, coached competitive travel teams in Virginia and Oklahoma. Watched the "Rooney" phase of American public awe and swoon in delight while I began to follow the smaller clubs... crystal palace, fulham, Coventry, Leicester, Newcastle... many of the teams that weren't heralded by American media... and in '13 something clicked... I have enjoyed following the rise and thought up until the final whistle last season Leicester would stay up. Several good friends are Reds fans and we get together several times a month to watch matches on Saturdays and Sundays.
