There is a bigger LFC fan base up the road in Vancouver. I am betting you will be the only one in Tri-Cities

There are some, but I would say Livrpool are the least popular of the bigger EPL clubs, (An American who has an adjacent Seattle Sounders tickets to me is an LFC fan, and is planing a trip out there) The US being a little late to the wonders of football, means many dont quite remember LFC's glory days. Something else that confuses your average American fan is to tell thm that Liverpool are the most successful English club (that may change this year of course, if the devil gets his way).

Thanks for the heads up! Maybe I should start a LFC supporters group in Washington? LOL I've converted my girlfriend to be a LFC supporter...so that's at least 2 in the Tri-Cities!

Count me in
Well done, my wife decided to support Arsenal. She knew supporting a certain other team would mean divorce, but she did not know that I still have a liking for Arsenal, going all the way back to their handling of the aftermath of Hillsborough, so its not as annoying to me as she was hoping. (I still dont get why she did not go for Everton, that would have annoyed)

Funny, I too have a respect for Arsenal! I see them as the LFC of the south!
Always nice to know that I have a fellow Anfield man in Washington

haha, yup! I once dated a lady who lived in Manchester and I happened to be waiting for her one time in a bar when the local derby game was due to be played later that day. On hearing my southern accent so many guys wearing Man Utd shirts asked me if I knew the way to Old Trafford!

Re: When they don't know you're British
I have to drive for one of the top Mid-West Division III College Teams, on Wednesday. The first 15 minutes will consist of my apologies for England's dismal World Cup Performance.
I'll remember to take some Cookies to give to the Official's Guide Dogs, whilst I'm at it. Officials, in the US are just shit - simple as that, especially at the Amateur level. They stop the game for trivial crap, and miss blatant fouls.
Rant Over!
Jim.

Master Bulldog - yes you should start up a LFC supporters club in DC - we live there and my 21 year old son is a mad Liverpool fan - so you already have your first 3 members! Hope you make it over.

Still, nothing stopping me doing a American national LFC group!
YNWA!
