We're less than 48 hours away from kick off at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL between my hometown Chicago Fire and the beloved Aston Villa. It's a day I never thought would happen and yet the mighty Villa have made their way to me, of all things, and I get to watch them up close and in person. Needless to say I am very excited not only at the prospect of watching the claret and blue up close but also that I don't have to see Alan Hutton.
I consider myself a Fire fan and I'm very happy to support the game locally. I even hope to get season tickets when my son is old enough to withstand a couple of hours in the same spot while not sleeping. So I think I have a pretty good idea about Villa's preseason opponent on Saturday but perhaps you, fine reader, would like to know a little more about the Chicago Fire. Without further ado, Ryan Sealock from the Fire SB Nation blog Hot Time in Old Town answers my six questions followed by the answers I gave Ryan and James Coston from HTIOT.
