. . . . . . The Daily Soccer . . . . . .

I'm off to the Fire vs. the Wizards (can there be a worse nickname in all of soccer) in a U.S. Open Cup matchup. It will be my first Fire game at Toyota Park and the weather looks perfect, if a little hot. I'm pumped. Will get there early enough to hear the pregame pep talks...as there should only be about 5,000 of my closest soccer friends sauntering into attendance throughout the evening. I'll try to refrain from ridiculing Josh Wolff as that would be tough to explain to Bjorn. ("Uh, he deserved it because he used to be good an now he's not!")
