IMMORTALITY!!!: CCL week was something truly special
We deserve to enjoy all of this.
SEATTLE — The smile stretching across Kelyn Rowe’s face could not have possibly been wider. Clad in a green-and-blue checkered, faux-fur, thigh-length coat; goggles resting on the top of his head; shirtless and drenched in champagne; the Seattle-area native looked every bit like someone who was living his best life.
If all had gone exactly to plan in Wednesday’s Concacaf Champions League final, there was a pretty good chance that Rowe would have never seen the field. Just a day earlier, he had been considered questionable due to a nagging injury, but a thigh contusion to starting left back Nouhou had forced Rowe into about 80 minutes of action.
