Abstract

I have to admit: I was conflicted throughout England’s run to the final of Euro 2020.

As a callow 18-year-old American at the University of Leeds, I was immersed in the UK through football. I was in the stands at Elland Road for every home game. England flag draped around my shoulders, I watched Bryan Robson score the fastest opening goal — 31 seconds v. France — in World Cup history.
