Roma Beats Liverpool at Fenway, 2-1

It was my last night in Boston and I decided to wrap it up with one more trip to Fenway but this time not to see the Red Sox but Liverpool FC. It was Football at Fenway while the Sox were out of town and I decided it would be fun to see Soccer played in the 100 year old stadium. It was a different experience going to a Liverpool game and see John Henry's other team (lose in front of my eyes). They had managed to bring in AS Roma for a friendly and it was fun to watch.

While no goals were scored in the first half, the second had plenty. American Michael Bradley scored for Roma in the 63' and the crowd went nuts with "USA" chants. Alessandro Florenzi scored another goal for Roma a few minutes later. Liverpool would score one in the 80' but their later efforts were not enough. Roma spoils Liverpool's game in Fenway, 2-1.

A fine game for the folks of Fenway as it seemed to have split the crowd's allegiances. I didn't know what supporters were surrounding me at times. Still a good game that is meant to increase the awareness of Liverpool. A win would've been better and Liverpool needs to improve a lot in order to contend in the EPL again but it was still a nice showing against the respectable club of Roma.

P.S. I head back to the West Coast in the morning. I enjoyed every minute in Boston and the surrounding area. I got a sports craving out of the way as well as an historic craving out the way. From Lexington and Concord to Quincy and the homes of the Adams family, it was a blast. I especially loved Thing. He's too good at Rock, Paper, Scissors though.
