Whenever I find myself among soccer fans, the talk inevitably turns to Liverpool, a team that people speak about in tones that border on reverence. In a New York Times feature on personal heroes last year, Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver wrote about the team’s forward, Mohamed Salah.
So yesterday at 3 pm I stopped everything to watch Liverpool’s Champions League round of 16 match against Atlético Madrid. They lost 1-0. (Though they did control the ball two-thirds of the game.)
