Fire advance to U.S. Open Cup final

I forgot to mention this the other day, but the Chicago Fire beat the LA Galaxy 3-2 on Tuesday, and will play either the MetroStars or DC United in the Cup final on October 15. The Fire are kicking ass in the MLS as well, and looking at another double. They return to Soldier Field for their last two home games, Oct. 11 and 18.

  1. it;s too bad that Ray Hudson is such a nice guy. He must really suck as a coach to not pull together a team that has so much potential.
    I’d like to talk shit about him, but I just can’t.
    They just remind me of Blackpool, now languishing in the English third division. They were the shit in the mid-sixties (a bit befiore my time) and were essentially the Man U of their day. They haven’t even seen top flite soccer for three decades. They also wore black and ruled a league in it’s infancy (though their’s was a post-war soccer league).
    DC will make it back someday.
    Or not.
    They at least need hardcore supporters like you, John, who can’t face the music. You have to hear it from time to time. A bit like ‘taps’ maybe?

  2. I just wanna know, why the MLS hired baseball’s scheduling genius in order to match up D.C. United versus the Metrostars 3 times in less than a week?

    P.S. United will sweep the Mutts, then kick the Fire’s ass on 10-15.

  3. Remember back when DC United dominated the MLS? Back before there was a Chicago Fire? Wow, that was a long time ago.
