Sam Stejskal http://www.chicagonow.com/profiles/SamuelStejskal It's been a while since I've posted one of these so I thought I'd share some interesting soccer related stories with you guys on this slow news day in the world of the Fire.

Here's a nice write up by ESPN on the MLS All Star game. It's a good preview of the match and if you plan on watching tomorrow night you should definitely check it out.

MLS has just announced that Houston will host the 2010 All Star game.

If you plan on heading to Mexico City for the upcoming U.S. vs. Mexico World Cup Qualifying match on August 12th, then this report from This Is American Soccer is an absolute must read. If you aren't going (like me...) then it's a cool piece and a nice way to learn about the Mexican capital.

And while this isn't really a link, it's worth sharing anyway. Check it out to see Kansas City's Claudio Lopez score a goal from 60 yards out...
