Fire Internet Guide

So, you want to be a Fire fan. Where on the internets can you find information, discussion and insight (apart from here, that is)?

Here’s a guide on where to go.

News & Information
- Official Fire site (uglier and updated less frequently than many other MLS sites)
- Windy City Soccer (general soccer news for Chicago, regular Fire updates)
- The Chicago Tribune (often updated, good coverage)
- The Chicago Sun-Times (rarely updated, poor coverage)
- The Daily Southtown (no specific Fire page, but coverage is pretty good)
- Soccernet Fire page (Basic info)
- Daily Herald (Kent McGill’s column)
- The Chicagoist (The Chicagoist’s Todd often covers the Fire)

Discussion
- Big Soccer (lively, though sometimes threads get messy and irrelevant)
- Section 8 (great, especially for the hardcore Fire fan)

- Fire official podcast (infrequent)
- Fire fan podcast (one man’s take, good stuff)

I’m sure I missed some sites, so post your links below and I’ll add them to this list, which will always be easily accessible by clicking the “Fire fan guide” category link on the right-side of the page. I also recommend you declare your support for the Fire at the Section 8 website, to join the online Fire community.
