Just as a little heads up, I live in the north now, specifically Wisconsin, and I have actually been a ref for some Chicago FC teams, and I was not overly impressed. They were good, but did not live up to what I thought they were going to be by the way that everyone talks them up. I wouldn't say that they are that much better than most of the premier SC teams, if they are even better at all. Their coaches are generally rude, and don't have a lot of respect for the refs or other coaches. I had a coach argue with me about a call, and when I told him the discussion was finished, tell me that I didn't know who he was, and how influentual he could be. How much more arrogant can you be? I would much rather ref or play against any team in SC than those teams.
