McBride shed more "red" for the red, white, and blue than anyone else.On September 3rd, 2010
Chicago Fire forward and former U.S. National Team player Brian McBride announced his retirement
from professional soccer, effective at the end of the current season.
McBride, he of the amazing diving goal of the 2002 World Cup, he of bloody sacrifice during the
2006 World Cup, he of 30 goals in 96 appearances for the USMNT (including the first American to
score in two different Cups).
Are you serious? Yup. Take that to the bank.
I wasn't going to write about U.S. National Team coach Bob Bradley. Nothing. Nada. Not a single
word. The Free Beer Movement site isn't really the place that most people come for U.S. news and
analysis. Frankly we're not particularly good at it. We cover the cultural aspect of American
soccer.
We've already penned quite a little ditty in honor of retiring Fire forward Brian McBride, but we
are upping the ante for the former USMNTer.
During the National Team friendly against Poland on October 9th, along with the American Outlaws
and the great American soccer publication The Shin Guardian, we're organizing a tribute for the
tailsman in his professional team's backyard, Chicago.
