I joined supporters of Liverpool and Manchester United to watch the big game at Anfield. After meeting at Fado Midtown, home of the Atlanta Manchester United Supporters Club, we marched into Meehan’s downtown to settle in at the LFC Atlanta bar. A tense and exciting 90 minutes followed with the match ending in a 0-0 draw. I was able to interview several fans from each side and get updates on the each supporter group, memories from previous matches and thoughts on the teams thus far.
