I had this lovely dream yesterday. In it, the most successful US striker ever decided that captaining and leading the line for a Premiership team was all well and good, but what he (and his family) really needed was ready access to Old Style brau and real deep-dish pizza.

I don’t usually like to reproduce news from the Trib’s excellent Red Card blog – I have confidence that you, dear reader, are far more likely to check that Fire blog more than my own anyway – but it’s worth doing so today as Luis has added a note to his entry on the Salas [...]
Fire offer Salas a contract?
By: Tom | 3 Comments
According to goal.com, the Fire and DC United have offered Salas a contract. Now, the Trib did report Fire GM John Guppy would talk to Salas today, but the intonation in that report was that an offer was still some way off. Goal.com cites the Chilean newspaper La Tercera as a source for this, [...]
