Pre-match: Chicago Fire - San Jose Earthquakes (Friday, 7/1) pregame thread

3 points or bust, we are better than this team.

 

They will probably be battling it out for the Wooden Spoon with Houston. On a grass field, there are no excuses for SJ if they can't win this kind of road game.

The Quakes are 5-1-5 (w-d-l) in games officiated by JC.

 

my daughter will be in chicago and is thinking of going to this game...

anyone ever been to Toyota Park.....? Looks a bit generic

Lou Malnati's pizza available at park?

Looking at the Fire board here at BS and their fans seemed really really depressed on how
their season has been going.......3 road points for the taking

 

I went to Toyota Park about six years ago. It was alright. It seemed a bit more impressive at the time, mostly because I was very used to Buck Shaw. I do not recall if they had Lou Malnati's available there or not.

 

I've been there, and plan to be there Friday. The stadium is in the middle of an industrial wasteland and has no particular architecturally interesting feature (though the Illinois soccer history display case is worth a look), but it's intimate and I doubt there's a bad seat.

 

Spanish again? *sigh*

 

But now you know the Spanish word for a-hole.

 

el agujero?

 

I think they might have the cheapest tickets in MLS. They're just about begging fans to come to the games

 

Bring back Frank! He'll fix it!

 

Ha! I think he caused a big part of the problem. Chicago hasn't won a road game in two years (something like 720+ days). They struggle to get points at home as well. It's been a long time since they were a powerhouse.

 

Yeah, via Frank's mastermind Quincy for Ty Harden trade. Ty Harden appears to be out of the league now..................we could actually use him right now given our dire CB situation :-(.

 

Chicago has an Open Cup game today. Since they have low odds of making the playoffs, maybe they play most of thier starters?

think she paid $18 each for center section row 2........

 

I predict a 2-0 victory for the goonies.

from my bigger plastic brick

 

Chicago played many of their starters in their 2-1 Open Cup win. The Quakes need to push the pace and run them ragged.

If we don't win this one, I predict we won't win another away game all season...

 

I believe the headline of the article is mistaken. It's the Quakes' first Chicago trip since 2013.

 

Culo!

Also, sometimes cabrón.

There is a huge array of Spanish words for stupid, idiot, dumbass, and so on. And some words that mean something else, but in common usage are understood to mean idiot or a-hole. Pendejo is another good one.
