I never noticed that Jamie Trecker, the senior soccer writer (that's his title -- don't blame me for using soccer instead of football) for Fox Sports, is based in Chicago. The free weekly Chicago Reader did notice, however, and their fall book special contains a story about Trecker's new book, Love and Blood: At the World Cup With the Footballers, Fans, and Freaks. The story describes Trecker's professional history and a health problem that afflicted him last year and almost kept him from writing the book.
And while I'm on the subject of Chicago, the Fire advanced tonight to the Eastern Conference finals in the MLS with a 2-2 draw in Washington giving them a 3-2 win on aggregate in the two-legged tie. Two goals in a three-minute span in the first half did the trick for the Fire. I considered going to the home match in this round, and I'm tempted to do so this time around, too.
