Wilman Conde's Rights? What about the Chicago Fire's?
Former Chicago Fire defender Wilman Conde wants back in Major League Soccer. This isn't news. It has been floating around for awhile now. What has changed is it now appears that a Major League Soccer team wants him back in the league as well. In fact, the New York Red Bulls have reportedly...
Hat Trick and QOTD Time...
This hat trick/QOTD is going to be a bit more succinct than I normally am (but it will probably still end up a bit longer than I intend it to be), but I found a few nuggets to share with everyone for my Wednesday piece. I am shooting for a longer Fire related piece for next Wednesday. It's been a...
A London club in free-fall, trains without operators and the elusive 20th MLS team: It's the Hat Trick and Question of the Day!
1 Hard Times on the Thames Manchester United is a very good club. This season, they’ve tossed aside inferior opponents with a startling ease. Despite that, there’s no reason Fulham should’ve lost to them 5-nil at home yesterday. The South London club looked completely unprepared...

Win This Game For the troops called in after the Great Chicago Fire
Imagine a city at a crossroads. Imagine a Chicago with a lame duck mayor wary of making big plans because the new mayor might have a different vision. Come on, I know it's really not so hard if you try. Now imagine it's October 11, 1871 and 1/3 of the city is burned, 1/3 of the city's population...

DC United lose to Chicago Fire, forget that games last more than 79 minutes
I was admittedly distracted by the Capitals playoff game while I was watching DC United's 2-0 loss to the Chicago Fire. So maybe I missed the continuous improvement that we were supposed to be seeing every week. Maybe United actually played some really attractive soccer and I was just too...
Nkufo has serious pedigree
EDITOR'S NOTE: With Blaise Nkufo set to make his practice debut on Tuesday, I figured it would be good to revisit this piece I threw together after he was first signed. Some of the stats will obviously be a tad outdated, but I think it still stands for the most part. Blaise Nkufo might be the best...
Nate Jaqua - Target Midfielder
