Cuauhtémoc Conquers MLS
Villain, hero, jerk, are only some of the few terms Cuauhtémoc Blanco has been called by soccer aficionados in his long career. Oh yes! We forgot one more thing: The new face for Major League Soccer! “Temoc” has demonstrated his talent and knowledge of the game, since his arrival to the Chicago Fire. Toyota Park sells-out more games than the Chicago White Sox (1st in Central Div.). His contribution in the league can be compared to Pele’s in the NASL, because of the ability to help turn soccer into a fútbol spectacle. Who would have thought that USA’s worst enemy could become a hero for the MLS? With his stellar performance this season and at the all-star game, Fire executives should start preparing a new big-money deal to show their gratitude. Also, it would not surprise me to see a statue of Blanco outside Toyota Park in a few years.
