Krol to play for the Chicago Riot?
There are serious rumblings in the Chicago soccer community that Krzysztof Krol's days as a
soccer player in Chicago are not over just yet. The National Soccer League's indoor season is just
underway but I'm pretty sure they have rules against professionals. Peter Wilt also said there
would be a major announcement soon for the Riot.
