I was wondering how long it would take for the city to see the dollar signs in all those faces in Grant Park last week.

Concessions alone will probably bring in more cash than the Taste of Chicago.

Go USA!

A soldier field audience is going to get to watch their team pass the ball to their own guys for a change.

Embrace, don't hate

USA!!!

Yeah, except when it's Michael Bradly doing the passing.

4 Billion people know him but you dont. LOL

I don't know who he is. Not proud or ashamed of that. I don't follow the sport. So unless he shows up on the NFL Network, MLB.com or NHL.com I doubt I would have a reason to know who he is. Is he good at kicking balls?

Can you fill this World cup thing you mentioned with cold beer? That sounds pretty good.

He is a world figure that 4 billion people know. Maybe you should get away from your Lincoln Park cloistered little lifestyle and recognize that you arent the center of the universe. There is a whole world out there, sparky.

I'm the center of my universe Sparky. And I don't have enough time for the things I am passionate about as it is. Sorry, soccer and your 4 billion known star don't rank very high on my list of cares.

Why 4? It seems very specific. Did someone count?

Out of curiosity, where exactly are you getting this "4 billion" number from and how do you know they all actually know who he is?

Soccer fans are funny as shit, never seen any other group of sports fans get so defensive so quickly.

I don't mind the sport, I'll watch a game in the background if I'm doing something else, but I won't sit and watch a 90+ minute game with all my attention.
