Surprising? because it was in a chicago paper? because it was in the trib? because it was a female writer? because it was Bonnie de Simone? ???
That was the best soccer article written in a local paper in some time. Even more surprising was the fact it was written about the USMNT.
Bonnie de Simone always does an excellent job on international sports. She needs to get in print more.
Surprised? Bonnie DeSimone may well be the best soccer writer in the country who almost nobody knows about. Back in the day the Trib sent her to Jamaica for March WCQs (tough gig). Send her thanks and work her bosses to have her write more footy articles.
