Just two days after CONCACAF announced that the 2013 Gold Cup would open at the Rose Bowl with the Mexican National Team, sources have confirmed to SBI that the 2013 Gold Cup Final will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Soldier Field hosted the 2007 Gold Cup Final won by the United States (which defeated Mexico thanks to Benny Feilhaber's memorable game-winning goal).
Mais um jogo da Copa Ouro, foi realizado no dia 12/06/2011, na cidade de Chicago-USA, no Soldier
Field, onde jogaram as seleções do México (28º no ranking da FIFA) e a seleção da Costa Rica
(56º no ranking da FIFA).

Those of you who are looking to watch some top class international soccer in Portland will have only a few more months to wait. Well, possibly. Really it depends on when the schedule actually comes out.
CONCACAF announced today the venues which will host the 2013 Gold Cup matches and Jeld-Wen Field is one of them.
Soldier Field is definitely one of the premier venues that is always mentioned for big soccer games. Whether it is USMNT games or friendlies (like Fire/Manchester United in 2011), Soldier Field is always a great venue to watch a game. Crowds are big, support is loud, and it's an experience everyone should try if you haven't already.
Two international friendlies on ESPN Deportes: Germany - Israel at 2:30pm and France - Serbia at
4:30pm. Univision has the Mexico - Bosnia & Herzegovina friendly at 8:45pm from Soldier Field in
Chicago. All Times Eastern
Michael Bradley's goal from the game against Scotland on May 26th was pretty fantastic. It made it
into the Top 10 on SportsCenter and has quickly made its way onto the list of most-watched U.S.
Soccer videos on YouTube with 394,238 views. That got us thinking... what are the top three
most-viewed videos in U.
U.S. forward Jozy Altidore and his AZ Alkmaar side topped Sacha Kljestan and RSC Anderlecht 1-0 on
Thursday in Europa League play.
U.S. Men's National Team and AZ Alkmaar forward Jozy Altidore found the win column as AZ Alkmaar
defeated midfielder Sacha Kljestan's RSC Anderlecht 1-0 on Thursday in the knockout stage of the
Europa League.
U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra steps on the field for the 100th time today representing the United
States, and the 54th time as captain. He becomes the 12th MNT player in history to achieve this
milestone. It's truly a proud day for one of the best all-around guys ever to play for the USA.
Javier Hernández no se cansa. Al ‘Chicharito' le gusta vestirse de héroe cada vez que se pone
la playera del Tricolor. El delantero del Manchester United marcó el gol en el último minuto que
le dio el triunfo a México 2-1 ante Bosnia en el Soldier Field de Chicago.Impulsados por la fuerte
lluvia, México se lanzó al ataque a la misma velocidad que el viento soplaba en Chicago y de
inmediato le quitó el frío a la afición azteca, cuando Giovani dos Santos abrió el marcador,
tras un rechace del portero a un tiro de Aldo de Nigris.
The Fire played a good, competitive match yesterday against one of the world's best teams. In
fact, they actually controlled large parts of the first half and hung in there in the 2nd half to
put in a valiant effort. It was great to see Soldier Field so full for a game that involved the
Fire (61,308 officially in attendance).
This weekend is another big one across the United States for preseason friendlies featuring Premier
League clubs. Today, Manchester United plays Chicago in front of a sold-out crowd of 62,500 at
Soldier Field. Newcastle United plays Orlando City at...
For the second consecutive game, Manchester United tore an MLS team apart in the second half to
run out comfortable winners.
Last week United scored four goals in the second half to beat the New England Revolution 4-1 and
last night they scored six (yes 6!) second half goals to beat the Seattle Sounders 7-0.

Thing are not getting any easier for Rafa Marquez.
After missing more than half of the New York Red Bulls' matches this season battling injury and
disciplinary problems, the Mexican veteran will now likely be out for the beginning stages of World
Cup qualifying and possibly beyond with a right thigh injury stemming from a collision in
practice.
The Chicago Fire v. Sporting Kansas City (formerly known as the Kansas City Wiz/Wizards) rivalry
is odd from a number of standpoints. The most notable of those is that one of the club's fan bases
refuses to acknowledge that any rivalry exists.
The Wiz were one of Major League Soccer's original ten teams during the inaugural 1996
season.
Kind of speaks for itself. We'll have analysis from an Aston Villa supporter later today. They
currently sit 15th in the Barclays English Premier League. Here's the full press release from the
Fire:
CHICAGO, IL(March 27, 2012) - The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced Tuesday that
the Fire will take on seven-time English Premier League Champions Aston Villa in an international
friendly at Toyota Park on Saturday, July 21 at 7:30 p.
When Chicago Fire defender Cory Gibbs recently appeared on Windy City Live to promote the club's
new sponsorship deal with Quaker Oats, the most astute of supporters may have noticed something
different about his appearance: his jersey did had short sleeves.
"I love my long-sleeves," said Gibbs during a recent interview with Hot Time in Old Town.
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- The game had no implications, but the Chivas de Guadalajara fandom came out in
full force in the loudest environment at Toyota Park this year.
Chivas' Jorge Mora scored a 61st-minute free kick goal and Guadalajara defeated the Chicago Fire,
1-0, in front of 18,224 at Wednesday's international friendly.
Of all the people on the train, the one I wanted to talk to the most was the middle-aged man
with the graying goatee, traveling with wife and two children. He and his son were wearing Chelsea
jerseys. It's not rare to see folks around Chicago in soccer gear, but considering this train and
most of its occupants were heading toward Soldier Field, where Manchester United were to take on
the Chicago Fire, those two bold blue shirts stuck out.
The Chicago Fire weren't favored against Manchester United, especially after the English Premier
League side drubbed the Seattle Sounders 7-0 just three days ago.
Still, some of the Fire players felt like they let one slip away after they lost 3-1 to Manchester
United at Soldier field.
Manchester United came from a goal down to defeat the Chicago Fire by a score of 3-1 in friendly
action at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday. The match was part of the ongoing World Football
Challenge series. Former USA international Gibbs put the Fire up 1-0 against a young United teams
when he headed in [.
The game against Manchester United kicks off in less than 4 hours. Tune into ESPN 2 or ESPN
Deportes at 4:00 PM CST if you aren't headed out to Soldier Field. The parking lots are already
open and the stadium will open at 2:30 PM. Since the game is at Soldier Field, obviously their
rules are the law of the land today.
With Manchester United coming to town tomorrow, Saturday, July 23, at 4:00 PM CST to take on the
Chicago Fire at Soldier Field, we exchange three questions with Gene Um of The Busby Babe. If you
aren't headed to Soldier Field, you can catch the game on ESPN2 or ESPN Deportes. Gene's answer to
my first question is below and the other five questions in the exchange are after the break.
Chicago's season has not gone according to plan. Still, the Fire are looking forward to their match
with Manchester United tomorrow for many reasons. Not only is the team excited to take on a world
soccer power, but they're using this as a chance to take a break from MLS action and regroup. Enjoy
the moment.
Whether MLS coaches like it or not, another full wave of friendlies packs the weekend schedule,
with games involving European teams taking place in five North American cities.
Four of the games are part of the World Football Challenge, as high-profile teams Manchester
United, Real Madrid and Manchester City continue their tours of America.
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Chicago Fire midfielder Patrick Nyarko and forward Dominic Oduro exemplify the
type of international draw that Manchester United has.
The Ghanaian duo has followed Man U's brand of soccer since they were kids. And like tens of
millions of other Red Devils fans, they have appreciated everything from afar.
It appears Toronto FC is trying to do everything it can to ensure it has a better second half of
the season.
After signing a pair of designated players in Torsten Frings and Danny Koevermans nearly two
weeks ago, Toronto FC acquired midfielder Terry Dunfield in a trade with the Vancouver Whitecaps on
Thursday.
If Wesley Sneijder is on the verge of joining Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has his best
poker face on.
Amid reports that Manchester United is close to signing Sneijder, Ferguson denied the deal,
stating that he doesn't believe Inter Milan is ready to sell the Dutch international.

You remember that famous 1999 World Cup victory, don't you?
Watch:
And it has cast a long shadow, as Associated Press Writer Nancy Armour points out:
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Lauren Cheney was just 11 during the 1999 World Cup,
watching from the stands and imagining what it would be like to be on that field with Mia Hamm and
Michelle Akers and Julie Foudy and Brandi Chastain.
