I visited my friend Mark yesterday afternoon to watch a rebroadcast of last Saturday's soccer game between Leeds and Tottenham. Mark - seen in the photograph above scarfing down pizza - is a fan of both Tottenham and Leeds, but since he has many friends who live in Leeds and the surrounding area, always cheers for Leeds no matter who they are playing. Last year, the team advanced from the Championship League, England's second tier soccer league, to the Premier League, where all the top soccer teams play. Leeds fans only hoped that the team finished no worse than 17 out of 20, so that they would not be relegated back down to the Championship League. Such little faith. It looks like the team will finish this year in 10th place, right in the middle of the pack. Great news for Leeds fans, who closely follow the team to take their minds off the fact that they actually live in Leeds. Just kidding, guys! Really! I mean really! And by the way, Leeds won the game 3-1.
