Chicago here I come: I'm off to Chicago in the morning for my B coaching license course with USSF. The wire will still go out Tuesday and Friday of next week, but web site updates and the "thickness" of the wire may be thinner than normal. You can help by sending news tips to news@potomacsoccerwire.com - which is an option you always have. We love news submitted directly from the community, and there's no better time than now to start if you haven't yet become one of our regular news hounds! Also, if anyone else reading this is also going to this course (or the A license, which is being run at the same time), please send me an email and we can share travel plans and coordinate our strategy for making fun of all the Fire fans that are sure to be in the class.
