Liverpool - Anfield Stadium home of Liverpool, F.C. - still cold and rainy



Anfield, home of my favorite soccer team, Liverpool, F.C. I never thought I would have been able to come here. Now I need to just get back for a game.

We toured the stadium. It's really small about 45,00 seats. We got to go into the locker rooms, and sit in the stands on a guided tour.

OK, some dude just sat next to me. Did we put a fucking trade embargo on deodorant to Europe? Are they protesting by not using it? Shit, we can't be making that much money off it. I just don't get it. It's not THAT expensive.

Yeah, so the stadium was awesome (oh, and guy, taking a Puerto Rican shower does not cover it - now you smell like shitty cologne and stank) There is a section of the stadium called the Kop. It has something to do with some military thing. Kop is short for spearkop or something. It used to be a terrace for standing room only to watch the games. It held 28,000 but they used to cram 30. If people got sick, they picked you up over their heads and passed you down to the field. Then they dumped you on it so you could get medical attention. If you had to pee; you didn't leave because you'd never get back to your spot. So, I'm assuming you know what they did.

We had nothing else to do there because it was cold and rainy. Real crappy weather - like it is supposed to be there, so we headed over to the airport to find our flight delayed. But that wouldn't be the worst of it.
