Ivan Guerrero Goal
|
The 29-year-old winger burst onto the MLS scene in 2005, when he finished near the top of the squad in games played, minutes played, games started and assists; served as Chicago's lone representative in the 2005 MLS All-Star Game; and won the Fire's 2005 Fire/Honda MVP and Fire Defender of the Year awards. All that came before he turned in one of the best individual performances in Fire playoff history, scoring a pair of goals and adding an assist in the hostile environment of RFK Stadium to help the Fire blow past D.C. United 4-0 in the decisive Game Two of their Eastern Conference Semifinal Series. A stalwart for the Honduran National Team, Guerrero is expected to add to his 75 career appearances for the "catrachos" when they take part in the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, which could result in Guerrero taking on some of his Fire teammates when the semifinals and final take place at Chicago's Soldier Field this June.
