I never thought I’d liked soccer.
Growing up in central Indiana, basketball was the sport you played, at least until you were old enough to start playing football. I never attended a soccer game growing up and no one in my family expressed any interest in it until one day, when I was at college, my twin brother told me one of his friends had gotten him tickets to watch soccer in Columbus. I didn’t think much of it until he told me what a great time he’d had, and that he’d be attending the MLS Cup Final.
