Poor old Tibet. Second FIFI Wild Cup in Greenland this summer, in case South Africa's too hard to get to

I was pretty pissed when I missed the Homeless World Cup when it was in Chicago a couple of years ago.

It's a shitty situation, but I was surprised to see that the tributes of Fire fans to Poland's president et al made the news in Poland:

yay, Red Bulls get Spurs. And Manchester City and Sporting

for their version of the sister city thing.

Sporting

I kid. I think we're going to be seeing more and more of this, especially as clubs in Yurp try to sort out their debts. I read earlier today that there's a rumor of a Celtic/Rangers match in Mass.

I think that's pretty much a rumour at the moment. Celtic have games lined up in Canada, Rangers in Florida, I think someone's thought they might as well meet up in the middle when they're done. Good luck Boston is all I can say about it.

Hooliganism visited upon the shores of the New World in amounts not seen since the great West Ham/Columbus Crew showdown of aught-eight.

Actually iirc New England's stadium (where they'd likely play) is closer to Connecticut than it is Boston, so either 1. nobody will come or 2. they'll be so concerned about how they're going to get home no-one will want to fight.

Parachuting some Rangers fans into a bit of USA populated with Irish Catholic ex-pats - MARKETING GENIUS. Am hoping Celtic see sense and distance themselves from this nonsense.

xpost, ah, OK.

Not unhappy to allied w Spurs although have a bad association from someone I used to know. But still, F will be gaga over the Croats in their line-up, so much so that I might even be able to get him to come back to RB Arena to watch them.

*be allied

Big friendly announcement day, it seems. The Fire just annouced they're playing A.C. Milan at the end of May.

OK, as if the Celtic/Rangers rumor couldn't get any worse: Fenway Park?

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2010/04/soccer_at_fenway_park.html?wprss=soccerinsider

fenway would be dope, why send them out to some bullshit suburb. goff commenter makes it historically right: according to Wikipedia, it would be the 2nd time Celtic played in Fenway. In 1931, they played a team called -- wait for it -- the New York Yankees, who were part of the American Soccer League. Celtic lost 4-3.

Been waiting to post about this for a while...

http://section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=503:supporters-charter&catid=1:general-supporter-news&Itemid=161

The Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Section 8 Chicago, the Independent Supporters’ Association for the Chicago Fire Soccer Club, jointly announced today that they have reached a groundbreaking agreement to institute the first-ever Chicago Fire Soccer Club Supporters’ Charter

The Sounders were robbed last night.

that game was dull as hellllll

So we were gonna get the Direct Kick package but we haven't had the money and I've seen every game I was interested in ANYWAY on either FoxSoccer or MSG network. Pretty great considering I can't even afford to go to the arena, lately. ;_;

The online DK package is actually pretty sweet, as is ESPN360 for the games they carry.

chcago ?

Haven't really played the rooks much. Kwame Watson-Siriboe has potential in the central d, Corben Bone looked good in friendlies and (might?) be the playmaker the team really needs. lolbackupgoalie got to play against PSG and AC Milan.

KC's Teal Bunbury looked good in a few mins against the Fire.

dallas that blonde guy

Brek Shea? He has played for them for a couple years, though this might be his first season as a regular first-teamer.
