| Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Fire removed the interim tag from Frank Klopas on Thursday, making him their permanent manager following a solid stint as caretaker boss this season. Klopas replaced former coach Carlos de los Cobos on May 30 with the Fire just 1-4-6, but guided Chicago to an 8-5-10 record over the last 23 games in Major League Soccer and to the U.S. Open Cup final. He is the first ex-Fire player to be named head coach and just the sixth coach in the club's history. Kl |

The Blackhawks had posted a 5-0-2 mark since a season-opening loss in Dallas, but saw that run come to an end last night with a 3-0 setback at Carolina. Chicago fired 30 shots at Hurricanes netminder Cam Ward, but he stopped all of them. "We got dominated in all areas of the game and we weren't very good tonight," said head coach Joel Quenneville, whose club is 3-0-2 at home on the year. "They were the mor |

Columbus, meanwhile, slipped out of a top-three spot in the Eastern Conference in its final game of the regular season, falling to the Chicago Fire 3-2. A major question mark hanging over the Crew is the lineup that head coach Robert Warzycha will send out to begin the match. "All year I'm trying to find the right combination," Warzycha said, specifically speaking of his center midfield p |

Anibaba opened his account in the 11th minute by heading home a cross from Pavel Pardo, while he doubled his total before halftime by nodding a cross from Cory Gibbs past goalkeeper Will Hesmer.

Should New York lose, that leaves the door open for either United or Portland, as well as the Chicago Fire. But both United and Portland need to rebound from tough losses or all the scenarios will not matter. United (9-12-11) has lost four straight and allowed two stoppage-time goals in a 2-1 defeat Saturday to Chicago. "It was one of the toughest |
