Actually, that soundtrack would go perfectly with a slowmotion video of Blanco whining to the referees and flopping about the pitch like he does 95 percent of the time.

[…] Arsenal earlier this year and Latentowicz’s challenge on Preideaux. (see pictures below and Pitch Invasion’s article on the subject as well–seems like they have something to do with every one of these […]

Spangly Princess - The shape of the Chicago Fire logo is close to an exact knockoff of the actual Chicago Fire Department logo. Click the link in my name to a mix of both logos.

More from the Chicago Fire website: “The six points in the middle of the logo are representative of the four six-pointed stars in the “City of Chicago” flag. The four stars in the city’s flag represent four monumental events in the history of our great city, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the World’s Fairs of 1893 & 1933 and the Ft. Dearborn Massacre.”

Fair enough, Matth. Just trying to play devil’s advocate. I mean, if he hadn’t been going studs-up right at Prideaux’s ankle, he would hardly even have deserved the red card!

I hate New England so much. Everything they do, their coach and that damn smarmy look, even hearing their name mentioned gets my blood boiling. Sorry bunch of ……….

Section 8 was in great voice on a day where the weather was absolutely dreadful.

The video is gonna be a permanent selection on my computer

Keep up the great work Tom!

Don’t worry, Matth, now the season’s underway I’ll be boring all the non-Fire fans with more Chicago-focused posts. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Also, I’m writing periodically on the Section 8 Chicago website too on the Fire, at www.section8chicago.com.

I was wondering where the Fire postings had got to (and missing them mightily, Tom). Even if this is the only post of the season, it is more than fulfills my need for sparkling commentary on the Fire.

And I don’t know how that isn’t a red card, either.

As a final note, to Brian, never speak ill of the Bridgeview pitch. It may eat up passes like mad, the grass may be a little too long (at least according to John Terry), but one thing it is not is filled with 10″ divots.

thank you x 10 for posting that last picture. I am SOOOO sick of hearing Revs fans complain about that. you could photoshop Eduardo’s head over Prideaux and Taylor’s over Larentewicz (sp?) and there would be no difference in how the ‘tackles’ were made. Thankfully, only the end result was different.

One final note to Revs fans: the other player doesn’t have to be crippled to get a red card. I know it sounds weird, but it’s true.

Look, he clearly would have been playing the ball if only there’d been a 10″ divot right where he started his slide. Maybe he just assumed there was one. Based on what I’ve heard about some MLS pitches this year, it wouldn’t have been totally insane.
