I went to the DNVR Bar here in Denver with my friend Mark yesterday morning to watch a soccer match between Leeds United and Plymouth Argyle with the Leeds United Colorado Fan Club. There were between 40 and 50 fans in attendance, quite a respectable turnout, and Leeds did not disappoint, scoring 3 goals in the first half and beating Plymouth 3-0. The game took place at Elland Road Stadium in Leeds, and the victory was the 8th in a row that Leeds either won or tied. They are currently in second place in the Championship League, and if they keep up this pace, they will return to the Premier League next year, England's top soccer association. It was a fun game, and everyone was very enthusiastic. The Leeds United Colorado Fan Club has 187 members, and that makes me wonder why so many people in Colorado are Leeds fans? They can't all be ex-pats, can they? In any case, I took the photograph above of Mark at the DNVR Bar during half-time. Mark has lots of friends in Leeds, and has visited there a number of times, and so I know why he is a Leeds fan. As for the others? Beats me.
