PrintTonight's Chicago Fire vs. San Jose Earthquakes game at Buck Shaw Stadium starts at 9:30 PM CST. You can listen to the game at the San Jose Earthquakes website or check out this link which seems to be run by the San Jose Earthquakes too but doesn't have the chat. I like the feel of the latter link but I think I'll need the game descriptions from the chat. The Chicago Fire have embedded the U.S. Open Cup chat onto their website at this page. At that point, you could just stick here and chat with us though. You could even get four browsers up and just go hog wild why don't you?
The Chicago Fire need to win tonight's USOC Play-In game to keep their streak of always qualifying for the U.S. Open Cup alive. Losing is not an option. The Chicago Fire are the Kings of the Cup. It's time to put Maccabi Los Angeles and Bethlehem Steel on notice.

Pre kick-off notes
Chaves is out with a right foot contusion. This will be the first MLS or USOC game that Chaves hasn’t started up top.
Cristian Nazarit will be appearing for the first time.
With the Chaves no start, only Pappa and Segares have started every game this year. Jalil Anibaba was rested on Saturday. He has started every game at RB except for Saturday night when Ristic started.
Yamith Cuesta is starting for the 6th game in a row. This is Daniel Paladini’s 5th straight start.

The Fire note that Anibaba has about 40 personal supporters because Santa Clara was Anibaba’s college for his first three years before he transferred to UNC for his senior year.

From Fire Twitter: 106’ – WOW. Nazarit blasts a free kick from 45 yards that Weber has to tip over the cross bar.
That’s nice to hear. I’d like to see that shot power
