I went with my friend Mark (seen in the photograph above) to watch Tottenham play Manchester City this past Sunday morning at Ester's, a popular pizza joint here in south Denver that opens early for the Colorado Hot Spurs, the local Tottenham fan club. I am truly amazed at how many soccer fans - not to mention British ex-pats - show up for these games so early on a Sunday morning. Once again Mark and I had to sit in the other room, since the main gathering place was filled to the rafters. What the hell time do these people arrive at to get a good seat? In any case, everyone was very enthusiastic, but I had to think how much more fun it would be if Manchester City fans were in one room, and Tottenham fans in the other for these games. Would that make for an exciting Sunday morning, or what? Happily, Tottenham beat Manchester City (who is 2nd in the Premier League standings) 2-0. And as sportscasters always like to say, "the crowd went wild."
