    What more could one want? Misfits, the Fire playing, Malört and rubber dicks. Sounds about right to me.

    I will watch the first half, but will miss the second half as I will go see The Gondoliers (Gilbert and Sullivan).

    Maybe Radojevic is our replacement for Gasper.

    I expect a tie tonight, but would love a win.

    No Cuypers, not even on bench, is bad.
    Only question is how bad.

    I think we’ll miss how much off the ball work Cuypers does that’s hard to see on TV.

    I see the Columbus lights are down for intro "mood." Although I haven't heard one way or the other I wonder if the new Chicago Fire stadium will have those new fangled lights like Columbus and Louisville where instead of the old school metal halide lights the new ones are LED and can do all kind of crazy colors with instant spectrum adjustments and go dim quickly and be bright again in an instant. I think that's a pretty fun feature.

    Have I mentioned how much I hate these adidas World Cup ads? Apparently they still think we’re provincial hicks in soccer.

    Do they explain how "soccer" is called "football" in the rest of the world? Otherwise I wouldn't know what they were talking about.
