They’re two of the most accomplished and well-traveled stars in U.S. Soccer history, but they never stray too far from their Chicago roots.
Houston Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley, 35, and Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley, 30, each have taken time during this MLS All-Star week to reflect on the role the city of Chicago has played in their intertwining soccer histories.
Bradley, of course, spent his formative years living in Palatine and walking in the shadow of his father Bob as he assembled a perennial championship contender as the first coach of the Chicago Fire.
