In front of what was probably the most lively crowd at an MLS match in sometime, if ever Chicago gave away a lead for the third straight match and Manager Juan Carlos Osorio lost his temper and was shown off the bench by the officials.
The match was tense as Cuauhtemoc Blanco, a long time Club America superstar and Chivas Guadalajara was making his first trip as a member of the Fire to Los Angeles. The sellout crowd was loud from the start and the place erupted when Blanco scored on a wonderful free kick in the first half.
But in the second half controversy ensued as Chivas was given a penalty and Claudio Suarez finished it. Late in the match Blanco appeared to be tripped in the box after a great run by Alex Zotinica, but Blanco who is notorious for fighting with officials choose not to argue the call instead looking to take a quick corner, thus Osorio lost his temper and was sent off. The match ended in a lively draw, but Chicago is certainly leaving the door open for Columbus or Los Angeles to catch them for the final playoff spot.

As a long time Chicago sports fan I have`seen out of town crowds cheer on Michael Jordan and Walter Payton, but never I have I seen a reception for a player from the out of town team that I saw with Blanco in LA last night.
Now if the Fire can only not tie we can see Blanco in the post season.
I wonder how Trecker explains such a large, and vocal crowd for an MLS match.
To anonymous at 12:27 pm:
Why should Trecker have to explain a large and vocal crowd? If your still going on about the podcast, and you still disagree with what he had to say, simply email the podcast and explain what Trecker was wrong about and provide facts to back it up. It's that simple.
Until then, shut up about it.
