    Fire vs. little brother

    Feels like we're catching the sporks at the right time. Let's hope we don't have to fall behind to win the game this time. Makes for some tense times. Come out to the tailgate in the north lot--it's being run by a young lady (I think she's 10 now) that has been a Fire fan since birth--all...

    The Fire vs. The smurfs.

    San Joe will be out of 6 players between injury, suspension and gold cup call-ups, so while it will be a less bumpy ride from the normally thuggish SanJoe Smurfquakes, don't expect it to be a walk in the park. They just went long last weekend in the Cali Classico and came back in stoppage time...

    Fire vs. Prom date dumpster babies, OR, how I escaped Ohio with 3 points and malort.

    Well, that was a blast! If you've never travelled with Section 8 Chicago and Sector Latino, you need to come out with us sometime. Round trip to Columbus and back with match ticket was $65. Seriously. The bus is BYOB, but there is PLENTY to go around for those of age. As far as the game...

    Fire vs. The Whiz of KC MO/KS

    Hell, whatever they are called now from somewhere between the two states (can't even pick one for crying out loud) will be up here this weekend with about 400 travelling fans. But remember, the Cauldron is full of whiz. If you come to the game, wear black. I don't have time to relay all the...

    New boy OR The Fire really have a thing for people whose name begin with "P"

    New boy OR The Fire really have a thing for people whose name begin with "P" Fire Sign Federico Puppo | Chicago Fire Don't know much about him myself, but at this age, it could be a very solid signing. His goal production seems a bit lower than I'd hope for, but it appears as though the Tech...

    Saturday is sold out

    I know many were hoping for a game with playoff implications, but there is significance in the rivalry that will be played out on Saturday. And since Chicago is for haters, we can still play the role of spoiler and not only take points of Columbus, a Fire win would assure them of an away...

    Forum request

    Can we please just have sub-forums for the various leagues? If not (since the number of contributors is still relatively low), can we have stickied threads for the various leagues and we'll just bump those threads with headlines and chatter? That way the FIRE forum will actually be for the...

    Tifo crew meeting Wednesday 26th Jan. 2011 (yes, this coming Wednesday)

    Have you ever been to a game and seen a large banner, coordinated display, a whole hell of a lot of flags, or some other visual display meant to pump the team up? That's tifo. It takes real money, many hands and hours to put together--not to mention get it into the stadium, do the display and...

    CJ hired as assistant at RSL

    Although he wanted to stay in Chicago, we have no info on why he was not given a position at CFSC. I am gutted today and I feel as though we've lost a valued member of our community and club and I cannot bemoan the Fire enough for their GLARING oversight and short-sightedness for not retaining...
