It's been a while. Let's reconnect. I'm Jordan and welcome back to my Liverpool blog.

Liverpool FC faced their historic rival Manchester United on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. The oldest sporting tournament in the world, one of the biggest and oldest rivalries in the world. And then Liverpool lost, in the last minute of extra time.

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to rage through the United States and England. Cases continue to rise, with the United States consistently breaking records for daily infection counts, whereas England has started a second lockdown period for the month of November. Thankfully, for us as fans but not really anyone else involved, the Premier League is exempt from the current lockdown rules in England, and matches will be allowed to continue behind closed doors as they have been.

It only took 32 years, but Los Angeles has two championship teams in one year!
