Chicago v Kansas City is going to be a good game on and off the pitch. The weather is looking good (so far) and the tailgate will be kicking off in roughly 75 minutes. The soon to be Fire victory will also be cause for celebreation.
2-1

Heereveen win 5-0, but no strikes for Bradley. However, Veen' do qualify for the CL playoffs.

Good to hear YankatOxford. Too bad Bradley won't be around to enjoy those CL games. But he'll make out like a bandit with the $$$.

No Marinelli for KC today, I think they'll struggle getting their full offensive arsenal on track.

Or not. Sweet long ball from Lopez to a streaking Jewsbury who makes a great touch and fires, 1-0 KC in the 4th

Oguchi Onyewu's Standard Liege just won the Jupiler League - meaning they qualify of the group stage of the Champions League. Wonder if the American will stay with the team now...
