Kissing your sister

This weekend the Chicago Fire and Charlton Athletic each gave back a 2-0 lead to end up tied at 2.  I was at the Fire match, and they played very well.  Unfortunately Columbus tied the game on a late penalty.  From where I was standing, and I had an excellent view, there was no foul in the area.  If there was a foul, then Conde was the victim, not the perpetrator.  C'est la vie.

From what I read Charlton played well yesterday, and going into the match probably would have been happy with a point against the Canaries at Carrow Road.  Despite back-to-back ties the Addicks still are unbeaten. If you had told me at the first of August that Charlton would be unbeaten through eight games, much less 6-2-0, then I would have told you to sober up.

So the weekend ends with both the Fire and the Addicks at the top end of the table and in good shape.  But still.
