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...
Chicago Fire vs. Columbus Crew - #MLS 14: Three Questions & Game Preview
In the off-season the Chicago Fire made the promise to Section 8 Chicago that if Section 8 had over 800 season tickets before the season started, the team would cover the fan buses for the Columbus road trip. The board, volunteers, and other friends of Section 8 all came together to not only match...
Chicago Fire vs. San Jose Earthquakes - MLS #11: Three Questions
We exchange three questions with Robert Jonas of Quake, Rattle and Goal in order to get some insider perspective on the San Jose Earthquakes as they head to Toyota Park to take on the Chicago Fire tomorrow night. Robert's answer to my first question is below and the other five questions...
Chicago Fire sign Gaston Puerari - a poor man's Freddie Ljungberg?
After seemingly weeks of rumors that the Chicago Fire are signing a 'Fredy Montero' type player, it was officially announced today that 25 year-old Uruguayan striker Gaston Puerari will be wearing Fire red in 2011. The Fredy Montero comparison is meant to establish that Puerari has the potential...
Canaries and how they might suggest a Chicago Fire sale
One of Illinois' biggest industries has always been the coal industry. While never a big part of Chicago's direct business, coal has been a part of the state's economy since the early 1800's. My fellow Chicago historians should check out the history of coal mining in Braidwood near Joliet, but...
Chicago Fire Life Without Freddie... Why it might be a good thing

Arsenal link roundup for Sunday, May 23
There is quite a lot of talk out there this weekend about the Cesc Fábregas "deal", as one would imagine. The pundits have come out in full force in the UK Sunday papers; A Cultured Left Foot has a good roundup of these, and rather than give them links directly, it is perhaps better to read...
The "New" Formation - Three Forwards
Saturday night, if you watched at home or listened on the radio you heard many mentions of the new 4-3-3 that Sigi rolled out in order to get a bit more offense, and to try and get better passing from the Seattle side. This "new" formation put Zakuani, Montero and Evans in a band of three at the...

A closer look at the week that was
Before we jump headlong into analysis and preview of this week's match with the Columbus Crew, I thought it would be useful to take a closer look at last week's pair of disappointing results. Specifically, I'd like to take a look at the passing in the two games. As was pointed out at several points...
