Another day, another soccer (sort of) adventure. The picture on the right features Chicago Fire goalkeeper Matt Pickens (the tall one - Missouri State University class of 2003) enjoying a different grassy environment. In this case its the Annual Frank Klopas Charity Golf outing. Frankie is a soccer legend in the Chicago area and former Fire player.
You might also recognize the fellow on the right in this photo - its US Men’s National Team player Chris Armas, also an original member of the Chicago Fire. He’s joined by Judith and Ross McLean (center), who were my correspondents for the Brazil game. They spent the next day, their 19th anniversary, enjoying their second favorite activity (golf) while being teamed with Matt and Chris. Judith is the Executive Director of the Illinois State Soccer Association, the organization that manages all amateur soccer in the state.
Happy anniversary Judith and Ross. Oh, and how about that result!
