Re: England v USA - Chicago, Post game drinking.
So what are the plans for pre/post game for those of us who don't want to go to a $60 party, or even downtown?
Traffic being what it is, we probably won't get there until 12ish and I don't know how long we'll stay afterwards (travel time is about 4 hours).

It would be nice if there was somewhere at the stadium where we could meet and someway to recognize each other, even if its just before or after the match.

Real Madrid have said he must train with them this weekend even though he can't play in their last match - so no Chicago!

Americans to field weakened team
The USA will be without several established players when they host England in Chicago on Saturday.
Claudio Reyna is rested, while injuries and club commitments mean Eddie Lewis, Pablo Mastroeni and Oguchi Onyewu also miss out on playing at Soldier Field.
Striker Eddie Johnson, who has eight goals in eight games for his country, and winger DaMarcus Beasley are doubts.
Coach Bruce Arena is set to draft in Major League Soccer trio Clint Dempsey, Kerry Zavagnin and Clyde Simms.
Duo set for first England starts
Southampton striker Peter Crouch and Manchester United midfielder Kieran Richardson will make their full England debuts against the USA on Saturday.
Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson named the duo in an unfamiliar looking side.
Goalkeeper David James is recalled, Michael Carrick makes his third start, while defender Glen Johnson and striker Andy Johnson have also earned places.
England team: James, G Johnson, Brown, Campbell, A Cole, J Cole, Jenas, Carrick, Richardson, Crouch, A Johnson.
