I might have missed mentions of this event due to thread necromancy, but I figure the Hristo 50th anniversary festivities from earlier this week deserved it's own thread. Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov designated UNESCO Champion for Sport Bulgaria President confers order for honour on football legend Hristo Stoichkov Barcelona Press Release Diego Gutierrez has some sweet pictures on his instagram account. More nice pictures here: http://www.libertatea.ro/sport/spec...cu-ori-craioveanu-au-fost-acolo-video-1487590 Highlights of the match: Full match:
President Coach Head of Player Personnel for the 2017 Chicago Fire Soccer Club ...not going to happen
Bob Bradley was also at that event - I would take one Bob over all three in the front office. That's not slighting these three.. just saying.
Oh, yes, I completely agree, but he was not in the picture. I think Bob Bradley is the one guy we have had with the Fire that, if Hauptman went cheap (again), would be able to handle the coach/GM roles which Klopas and Yallop clearly could not; neither could Nowak in Philadelphia. I would be thrilled to have Bob Bradley back in any/every capacity.
He was about 35 when he retired and is 42 now. He probably would have been our best or second best defender last season had he suited up! Don't think he would hold up in midfield anymore, though.

That second picture is the basis of my childhood. These two were and still are my heroes. I can't say the same about anyone currently on the Fire (or Milan for that matter).
