Any fans in Chicago or travelling in for the US v Trinidad Tobago game this Wednesday should swing by The Globe Pub in the afternoon. There will be an afternoon pre-game party plus a bus (w/keg) that will take us out to Bridgeview and back after the game. Yours truly will be coming in for this. Hope to see you there!
