I don’t know. Call it a hunch.
Oh, and it was decided by a blind draw, because MLS is just that stupid.

Welcome to The Chicago Homer’s Mailbag. It runs once a week unless it doesn’t, and in it I answer questions from readers via Twitter or email. The questions can be about any damn thing you please, and there likely isn’t a question I won’t answer. There may be questions I can’t answer, but I’ll try.
If you’d like to submit a question for the next edition of the mailbag it’s pretty simple. Either ask the question on Twitter using the #AskTCH hashtag — as long as you use the hashtag I will see it — or send an email to TCHMailbag@gmail.com.
It doesn’t look like Jermaine Jones will be coming to Chicago.
According to a report from Goal.com, Jones has rejected an offer from the Fire that would have paid him $6 million over the next two and a half seasons.
Today is the MLB trade deadline, and I haven’t written an actual post here all week, so of course the the rumor that I’m writing about here involves the Chicago Fire. But it’s somewhat of a big rumor, though! Don’t run away so fast!
It appears that the Fire are interested in bringing in a player that people have actually heard of: Jermaine Jones.
Mike Magee and the Chicago Fire do their own version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and the video is actually pretty good, with some guest stars as well. The best one being Hope Solo, who does an excellent job of being angry, which we all know she’s pretty good at.

The World Cup came to an end for the United States Tuesday when it lost to Belgium in extra time 2-1. It sucked, even if it wasn’t completely unexpected. For many fans who have been watching soccer the last three weeks the end of the USMNT’s run in the World Cup means the end of watching soccer for four years.
And that’s fine. I used to be the exact same way.

Did you know that the Chicago Fire kicked off their season today? Well, they did, and Quincy Amarikwa provided the most excitement (so far) with this game-tying goal in the second half.
