Taras Tataryn

I try to act like I am English, but I really am just a college student (in Indiana), programmer, occasional writer, and most importantly a passionate Manchester City enthusiast living in Minnesota. I am a computer science major, also having played soccer my whole life through college. I like to think I know the tactics of the game really well and the squad of Manchester City back to front. While I consider soccer to be my number one sport, I used to play hockey and have a huge love for the Minnesota Wild. I contribute to Man City Square but also am a lively presence on the MCFC reddit, Bitter and Blue, and City Watch.
