Chicago Fire fans and self-proclaimed soccer experts tested their knowledge in 5 rounds of soccer-themed trivia at Johnny O’Hagan’s in Lakeview on Thursday night.
Questions covered everything from the Chicago Fire to the U.S. Men and Women’s National Teams, European League stars, World Cup statistics and more.
Chicago Fire play-by-play announcer Dan Kelly was the emcee for the evening, posing questions to fans including: "Who is England’s all time leading scorer in World Cup history?”; “Name three venues the Chicago Fire has called home since the club’s inception,” and more.
The winning team, “Irish Wrist Watch” took home a total of 20 points, with the “Fire Ballers” coming in close second with 14 and the “P-Town Beat Down” coming in third with 9.
“Anything for the Fire, I’ll turn up for,” said Jimmy Garcia, a Fire fan and member of the winning trivia team.
Some participants went home with more than bragging rights, though. Prizes and raffles saw fans leave with a home kit signed by all of the Men In Red (pictured), an exclusive scarf, four match tickets and more.
“Any time you can have your greatest asset, your supports, gather around and talk about a subject that is dear to them, Chicago Fire soccer, around trivia and conversation, it’s always a good evening. ” said Kelly.
Fans can catch all Chicago Fire games at Johnny O’Hagans, including Friday's match against Columbus Crew SC (7 p.m. CT).
