Greetings! Im a new fan of the Chicago fire I would like to know some info on the team that i would addore in the U.S.A. a) Whos your top players? b) coach? c) Where do you play in Chicago? d) Name of stadium? e) Payrolls? f) Foreign players? g) Cups, playoffs, etc? As far as i know..i guess you go like NFL, MLB, NHL and theres no relegation Where can i get merchandise?
www.chicagofiregear.com sells merchandise, however they don't offer the option of shipping overseas. That is very frustrating for me. www.soccer.com also sells some fire items
Welcome! Best places to start for basic info is mlsnet.com and www.chicago-fire.com. If you are new to MLS, there are a lot of differences between it and most leagues in the rest of the world (no relegation being one). The seasons almost over: we play San Jose in the championship on Sunday. Hope you've brought us luck from Isreal!
I'm not a Fire fan, but since I'm here I might as well add: Jonathan Bolanos is Costa Rican. Also the Fire has another foreign player, Damani Ralph from Jamaica, who doesn't count toward the Senior International limit due to his age.
Best players are: 1. Demarcus Beasley also Known as DMB. He is primarily a left-winger but he can also play as a center attacking-mid. Even though he is only 21 he is considered an almost automatic starter for the US team. It is possible that he may be sold this winter some teams interested are Ajax, Middlesborough, and Seville. 2. Carlos Bocanegra is a left centerback. He won the defender of the year award last year and is also a lock to start for the US at only 24. His contract is out this year and it is likely he will leave possibly to Leeds. 3. Ante Razov is a forward who scored the second most goals in the regular season. He is not a regular for the national team but has played for them before. 4. Damani Ralph is a very talented forward from Jamaica who set the record for most goals scored by a rookie. He is about 23 and is starting to get a lot of attention from europe and the Jamaican national team. The rest of the probable starters are: DM Chris Armas, CM Jesse Marsch, RM/CAM Andy Williams, LB Orlando Perez, CB Jim Curtin, RB Evan Whitfield, F/Winger Nate Jaqua, DM Logan Pause, CB C.J. Brown, RB/Mid Kelly Gray The stadium they play at is called Soldier Field. It is a NFL stadium that holds 60,000+ but about 25,000 go to Fire matches. The overall level of the league is comparable to the top of the English 1st division but the Fire are much better.
I've never figured out who this DeMarcus is. maybe Jamar's supplier? DAMARCUS WITH AN "A" A, A, DA MARCUS DAMARCUS
Whatever your motives, you've made a wise choice. If you're looking for merchandise, check mlsnet.com store as well, they might ship overseas.
I did it cause i saw a lot of people in this forum who liked the MLS, so i wanted to get into it as well. I just didn't know what team to choose? There was so many.. All i know about the MLS was that it was new, theres no relegations and the teams are expanding. There was talks to have Israelis (me!!!) in the MLS...it would be good, cause theres a big jewish base in the U.S and alot of support for it. I see that Chicago Fire is a potential and i hope to learn more.... B.t.w: When does the season start & end?
Exactly the kind of player I wish we could hold on to but not likely. Chicago is an entertaining and talented team and even as a Galaxy fan I have to admit that.
First of all the season kicks off in the spring, and ends this coming Sunday. Secondly, do you play and are you interested in playing here?
I don't think he was talking about he himself playing in MLS. Just letting us know that he is an Israeli.
Well, I see it as the season ended a few weeks ago and the post-season tournament ends this Sunday. Just because there are Jewish people here, don't assume that they would support an Israeli national in MLS. Just because the current administration is Zionist, don't assume that every American or every Jewish American is. Although...Jon Stewart is American, and Jewish, and likes Soccer. Does anyone know if he's a Zionist?
I did play youth clubs in my area, and the youth clubs are runned by the offical clubs...but my team is considered 2nd division mid table
No he's not a Zionist...haven't you ever watched his show? Oh...and your signature sucks ass. Get over yourself.
