“San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don’t mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. When they boo you, you know they mean you. Music, that’s what it is to me. One time in Kezar stadium they gave me a standing boo.”
– George HalaS
Bye Bye Bobby
I was saddened today to see Bobby Firmino confirm he’ll be leaving Liverpool FC at the end of the season.
It has been a tough year for him and the club but LFC is better with him than without.
He’s that class of athlete I call a catalyst (others include the Washington Capitals T.J. Oshie and the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce). These are the players who, while talented in their own right, distract and disrupt the other team’s defense enough that the path to the goal is made easier for their teammates.
LFC was never better than when Firmino worked alongside Sane and Salah to dominate a match. Liverpool will be the poorer for losing him and wherever he goes will be that much better.
