Photo Courtesy of Chicago FireNorthwestern signee Joey Calistri scored a pair of gols in the Chicago Fire's six-goal second half.With his team trailing division nemesis Vardar SC Freiburg by two goals at halftime Sunday, there was concern on behalf of forward Joseph Calistri that his Chicago Fire under-17/18 team would lose for the first time in its past 14 games of U.S. Soccer Development Academy action.
Then came the rain. Literally.
"Basically, we had about an hour rain delay, so we went into the locker room, and the coaches left us alone for about an hour. We had to figure it out on our own, and we pretty much did," Calistri said.
