If you are wondering what's new with the Cuauhtemoc Blanco situation, the Chicago Tribune's Luis Arroyave does a good job getting the Chicago take on the events of last Tuesday. He also put to rest growing rumors about Blanco having a run-in with a police officer at the game.
And those of you who were up in arms about MLS yanking the video of Blanco's punch thrown at Clyde Simms had a gripe. According to an MLS source, a league employee mistakenly requested that the videos be taken down from YouTube. Apparently the mix-up occurred because someone thought it was an MLS match, when it wasn't. I've been told that the video was to be put back up, though I wasn't able to find it.
So what next? An MLS suspension for Blanco is not going to happen, though a U.S. Open Cup suspension should come down soon. And for those of you wondering, Chicago next faces D.C. United on Aug. 16th at Toyota Park. The Fire won't be returning to D.C. during the regular season, but as we have seen in recent years, there is always the post-season.
