I first fell in love with the world's most popular sport when I was given an Arsenal jersey following a friend's trip to London. Since then I've followed Arsenal religiously including 7AM wake ups, visits to the only local pubs showing matches and a number of trips to the UK to see Arsenal live at home and on the road. I've also attended many MLS games, several Serie A matches in Italy and somehow ended up at a QPR vs. Huddersfield third round FA Cup contest in a hail storm. Football truly is "the beautiful game."
