Summer Trip Highlight - Goal or Not? @ Anfield Stadium, LFC

Oct 5

This post took much longer than I expected to write. I originally intended to share about my summer trips, but things got busier than I thought, then high school started, which has been an exciting journey so far. Now that I’ve had a moment to breathe, I want to share the highlight of my summer: my trip to Liverpool and the day I spent touring Anfield Stadium.

My mom booked a VIP tour that gave us exclusive access to various areas of the stadium, including the players' changing rooms, therapy rooms, and dining hall. We even had the chance to meet retired players, coaches, and team managers, enjoying a delicious three-course meal (prepared by the team’s chefs) with them while participating in a live Q&A session with Steve McMahon, John Alridge and Phil Thompson

During lunch, they organized a fun game called "Goal or Not," where we watched clips of Liverpool players’ shots from famous games and had to guess whether each shot was a goal. There were about 100 people in the dining hall, and everyone stood up to participate. A clip would be played, and everyone had to guess raising their hand up for goal and keeping it down to not goal. After each guess, those who got it wrong had to sit down. This continued for ten rounds until only three visitors remained—one of whom was me. When the next clip played, I guessed correctly while the other two got it wrong. The game ended right there, and I was invited on stage to receive my prize. Although it wasn't quite age-appropriate, the host and judges admitted they weren’t expecting a kid to win. My prize was a bottle of wine signed by the three.
