House Divided: Megally brothers face off on the field

Related Topics: Association football

Growing up in the Megally family household, Simon and Aidan Megally would most likely be found in their unfinished basement playing one-on-one soccer against each other. It was down there that the Megallys first practiced perfecting the moves they would some day use on opponents at Wish Field and Loyola Soccer Park.

“Those were the days,” Aidan said. “We would set up two little goals and just go after each other for hours.”

“Our basement was a decent size and wasn’t super nice, so
we could kind of beat it up,” Simon said.
