Liverpool FC: The Roller Coaster

I am 22 years of age, happily married and I recently moved to Raleigh North Carolina, from Illinois.
I became a father on November 15, 2008 and My son Geoffrey (pictured) is already supporting the Mighty Reds.
Despite growing up "across the pond" I have had a passion for Proper football since I can remember. I support Liverpool FC, unlike most of my American counterparts who only support Man United because that is the only team they have heard about.
I have gotten into countless drunken arguments about how baseball is a "pussy" game and how their athletes are nothing compared to proper football players. The same can be said about American football players in comparison to Rugby Players.
I am not a big MLS fan even though i do like the Chicago Fire and I have an old school mate who plays for the Colorado Rapids. It is much slower and less interesting then its European counterpart. Hopefully someday it will progress in such a way to be competitive with other football leagues.
I find most American sports extremely boring the only exception to this is March Madness, this is the only pure form of basketball left but I hardly ever watch it.
Hey,
It's that time of year again! Time to vote for your B/R World Football Writer of the Year. A final shortlist of 10 has been devised with great difficulty, and now you can vote for who you think deserves the accolade! Let the voting commence!

Also...
If you haven't seen it already, I have written the first of many "decade in review" pieces, and this one looks at Liverpool's top 15 matches of the noughties. Have a look and see what you think, you might be surprised at what ISN'T number one!

:). It seems we deserve every bit of fortune for our rivals falling apart.
At least I want to Ballack to eat his own words about 'Liverpool falling apart before the challenge'.

Thought I would give The Relay for Life one more push before our big event Saturday. This one is a more in-depth look into the story of Dave Dravecky. Also posted a link for the Josiah Herring Funeral Fund!

Was the referee actually right in the Chelsea vs Barcelona match? Certainly, I don't think he had as bad a game as some people are making out! And what should be done about Drogba and Ballack's actions to the referee? What about this conspiracy theory? Do you beleive it?
Join the Great Debate!

The Great Debate is back!
This time it looks at the current buzzwords: Joey. Barton. What are your views on it? Does he deserve to play football again? Has he used up all his chances? Was it right that he was suspended? Check it out, I think this is one of the best Great Debates yet!
