Osorio adds familiar face to Fire roster

The Chicago have added another international player to a roster that already features Cuauhtemoc Blanco and Paulo Wanchope. And it's another familiar face...well, at least to Fire coach Juan Carlos Osorio.

The FIre signed Colombian defender Wilman Conde, who played for Osorio on Millionarios, to a four-year deal on Monday.

Making way for the 25-year-old Conde were Willian Oliveira, who was dropped Monday, and Thiago, who will be released when Conde received his VISA according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Why did we go? USA finishes 0-3 at Copa

The U.S. C-team lost their third and final match 1-0 to Colombia in the 2007 Copa America, going 0-3 and finishing dead last in Group C. Think they'll invite us back? Not likely.

Columbia's Jaime Castrillon scored the only goal of the game in the 16th minute. The only highlight for the U.S. was Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan's save on a Colombia PK in the 36th minute.

BTW, Mexico, who took both the Gold Cup and Copa America seriously, beat both Brazil and Ecuador to finish atop of their group. Stay tuned for TYH's commentary of the tournament.
