Watching Soccer With Mark At The Three Lions

I went to The Three Lions ("A World Football Pub") with my friend Mark last night to have burgers and beers and watch a soccer match between the Colorado Rapids and the Dallas Something-Or-Others (as you can tell, I'm really getting into this soccer thing).  The Three Lions is just down the street from the bookstore where I work on East Colfax Avenue here in Denver. The Rapids did not look so hot, and were behind 2 to nill, as they say, 5 minutes into the game, which is how the match ended.  The Rapids are solidly in last place, but Mark tells me they could still make the playoffs, which start at the end of next month.  Weird.  And what is a soccer pub doing on Colfax Avenue, once called America's "longest, wickedest street"?  On the other hand, what isn't on Colfax these days, soccer pubs being one of the tamest.  In any case, wait until next year, Colorado Rapids, as we Chicago White Sox fans seem to say too often.
