Let's play a little trivia. Name the Chicago Fire Career Regular Season Goal-Scoring Leader. If the name Ante Razov was not at the tip of your tongue, it's time to bulk up on your Chicago Fire history. Razov holds any kind of goal related record you can imagine; shots (617), hat tricks (2), offsides (184), game-winning goals (23), penalty kick goals (12), multi-goal games (16), and of course just goals (76).

Wow! I mean, I knew it was a great goal but I figured the Eric Hassli goal was going to be the goal of the year simply based on the circumstances surrounding it. I mean, it was a great goal against a primary rival coming from behind in the late minutes. Really, it had a lot of emotional support.

But never count out a Portland Timbers I always say.

The Houston Dynamo thought that Dominic Oduro was so much of a liability after missing a sitter in the season opener that they immediately cast him off to the Chicago Fire, trading him for Calen Carr.
Houston's misstep was Chicago's offensive answer, particularly in the final two thirds of the season, as Oduro received ESPN Chicago's vote for being the team's most valuable player in 2011.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill – After watching a two-goal lead in the second half disappear in the span of two minutes, the Chicago Fire looked destined for yet another late-game disappointment. Dominic Oduro had other plans however, as he and Patrick Nyarko combined to give Chicago a sorely-needed win and the Fire continued hope of an improbable run at the playoffs.

There is no real lead today, just a bunch of solid stories that are worthy of reads and listens. All-In with Larry Sunderland, Section 8 $10 tickets, American coach finds success in Guatemala, Qwest Field goes solar, and some thoughts on why Bulls fans should still be optimistic after the break.
