Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire pulled off an improbable win against league leading FC Cincinnati during their midweek matchup. Despite a decent start, the Men in Red looked lethargic at times, reminiscent of recent sub-par performances. But a bad back-pass from Kip Keller led to a Hugo Cuypers fast break, and the Belgian DP was able to slide a pass to Brian Gutierrez who scored from 6 yards out. It was all the Fire would need to secure only their 2nd road win of the season.In the second half of

Hey, soccer fans! Ever think Simon & Garfunkel would apply to Major League Soccer? Well, Chicago Fire fans understand the darkness the club is in currently. They Fire have now lost to the worst team in both conferences, recently falling 1-0 in an uninspiring and lazy game in San Jose. The Earthquakes were the worst defensive team in the league, and the Fire - through a combination of lazy play, bad tactics, and lack of talent - couldn't find the back of the net.

Hey, Fire fans! Can you believe that win against the Union? If I hadn't watched it myself, I might not believe it either. With a sleepy start to the match, trading first half goals, and some sloppy defensive play, the Fire looked to squander another opportunity against the struggling Philadelphia Union. However, energy from second half subs, a Union team that dropped into a defensive shell, and some good luck swung fate in favor of the Men in Red. Tune in for all the emotion, the goals, and the

An early injury to Carlos Teran and sub-par play from Jonathan Dean and Rafael Czichos allowed Seattle to turn momentum, and the lack of coaching adjustments from Klopas & Co. allowed Seattle to keep the momentum.

Hey, soccer fans! Did you enjoy the bye week? I certainly hope the Chicago Fire took the week off to rest, reset, and prepare for their next stretch of away games. Their next match is a difficult but not impossible one at Toronto. While first year manager John Herdman has improved The Reds from last season, they will be without starters Federico Bernardeschi and Nicsoen Gomis due to red card suspensions.
