My friend Mark and I drove over to Denver's DNVR Bar yesterday afternoon to meet up with the Leeds United Colorado fans and watch the soccer match between Leeds and the Queens Park Rangers. This was a critical game for Leeds, since being - just barely - in second place in the Championship League (England's 2nd division) a win might result in automatic promotion to the Premier League, England's top soccer division. Sadly, Leeds lost 4-0 to QPR, and will now have to compete in the playoffs to determine who will be the third and final team to be promoted. However, looking at their performance today against a 17th place team, things do not look too rosy. As you can imagine, the Leeds United Colorado fans at the DNVR Bar were not very happy with the result, and the place emptied out quickly once the game ended. Mark, seen in the photograph above, says this was the worst game he has watched all year. Of course, as a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan, I know that things can always get worse, and so be prepared, Leeds fans, for heartbreak in the playoffs.
