Last night, the Chicago Fire made their latest induction into the club's Ring of Fire, which
acknowledges heroes of the team's history. Added last night was Chris Armas, joining Bob Bradley,
Piotr Nowak, Lubos Kubik, Frank Klopas and Pitch Invasion's own Peter Wilt in the Ring. Despite
the pouring rain all night, Fire supporters, including myself, stayed in the stands to recognise
Chris at an excellent half-time ceremony, midway through a critical game that eventually saw the
Fire reach the MLS playoffs after a 1-0 win over Chivas USA.

Davies, who left Boston College for Sweden following his junior year, drew some interest from clubs
around Europe after he scored 14 goals in 27 league appearances last season.

came back to defeat Honduras 2-1 Saturday night in Chicago, salvaging a rough week. With the win,
the US has 10 points through five hexagonal matches (two fewer than at the same point last time
around) and keeps them just two points behind group leader Costa Rica.
