1. Looked like there was a max of 2K people in it last night for their CCL game, usual crowd.
2. Kljestian didn't wear that armband, just had a stereotypical navy with CONCACAF / unity / togetherness or something on it. Probably just made that armband for instagram/twitter.

Not sure how Kljestan will feel about having to wear an armband with a comedy cartoon British dog, and a couple of logos that wouldn't look out of place on an alt-right subReddit, but there you go.
Pretty sure Concacaf regulations require that standard captain's armband be worn for all CCL matches. He will probably wear that clown armband for MLS matches.
Because that's when their fans actually show up, at least a minimum of 10,000 of them
I don't understand. Is he just being typical dickhead dax? Because he was not in a Wcq.
At Schweinsteiger's "welcome to Chicago" presser, some knob asked Schweiny if his presence could help lead the Fire to a World Cup victory.
So I presume Dax was poking fun at that.
Oh. Sorry. I don't keep up with #cf 97 pressers. Thanks. That is funny, then.
Yep. The guy meant Club World Cup, but he wasn't specific and it led to a lot of blowback and stories about how Americans don't know soccer. Credit to him, he has owned the mistake.
Club World Cup sounds like an after the fact cop out. (smart way to spin it, but I'm still calling Bullshit) I watched the clip, doesnt sound like he's trying to state that at all. And it makes even less sense when Chicago has never qualified for CCL play. Hard to worry about the Club World Cup when you're not even playing in the tournament that qualifies you to compete in it. Worse, even if they qualify for CCL this season, they don't play in it for 2 more seasons (till MLS fixes that with the new format, let's hope!). And then, even if they manage to win it over a Liga MX team, they then have to play for the CWC in December (when MLS contracts would have run). So he's asking him about wining a cup that the Fire couldn't even compete in till after his contract is already expired????? That's about just as dumb as the original World Cup question. The dude fucked up, if you're going to own in, own it completely.
I didn't read anything about him claiming club world cup, just an admission that he messed up. Looks like he's owning it at this point. Regardless it was really funny. The Fire SG even had a banner at the game that said something about the "Road to Russia".
A road to Russia tifo was quick thinking and slick.
If the guy was smart he would have just said he misspoke and meant "MLS Cup" not "World Cup"
but he probably doesn't know the title is called "MLS Cup" either.
