Me: Liverpool, eh?
Person: (after looking at me strangely for a minute, then remembering he's wearing the f***ing shirt) Oh, yeah.
Me: So what do you think of Alonso?
Person: Huh? Oh...I really don't know anything about soccer.
Me: Then why are you wearing the shirt?
Person: I dunno, it looks cool/my girlfriend bought it for me/I got it when I was "discovering myself" in England. I frankly don't even like soccer. It's boring.
So I've given up. I did get to go to the Celtic game in Connecticut this summer, and got a chance to meet some real fans. But then there was the American father sitting behind me imparting football wisdom onto his son..."Gerrard Houllier is the manager. Robbie Fowler plays for Newcastle now. Nobody ever scores on free kicks (2 seconds later, in goes Riise's shot)"
