  • Fire in the Hole! Chicago Fire Open Leagues Cup with a Loss
    Jul 30 2024

    Hey, soccer fans! We're back with more Chicago Fire talk as we recap the Men in Red's loss to Sporting KC in their Leagues Cup opener. The Fire went ahead on a sweet strike by Koutsias, only to be beat by Castellanos and Agada of Kansas City later in the match. We analyze what the match can tell us about the remainder of the Chicago Fire's season.

    In the second half, Nick reads his favorite quotes from a recent Crain's article that interviewed Fire owner Joe Mansueto and Chicago Red Stars President Karen Leetzow on building a soccer stadium in Chicago. The article - and Nick's reactions - touch on the challenges of playing at Soldier Field, the use of public funds, and the difficulties of south side venues.

  • A Mess in Miami: Fire Lose 2-1 to the Herons
    Jul 23 2024

    Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire took a trip to South Beach to face a Messi-less Inter Miami team but could not come back with a win. The Men in Red continue to play lethargic, uninspiring soccer, and fall to the Herons 2-1. Our host does not hold back in his criticism of the players and coaching staff, and gives his live reactions to Manager Frank Klopas' post-game comments.

    In the second half of the show, Nick discusses headlines from the Chicago Fire organization - a Fan-First Guarantee if Messi doesn't play in Chicago and news on the new training center - as well as discussing the latest big MLS outgoing transfer. Caleb Wiley of Atlanta United has been transferred to Chelsea for a reported $11 million transfer fee.

  • 3 Points to Go! Chicago Fire beat FC Cincinnati 1-0
    Jul 19 2024

    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 the show, Nick previews the upcoming match against Inter Miami, and how the Fire will have to play in order to salvage a point against the current league leaders. Even without Messi, the Herons are an explosive team on offense and a capable team on defense. We also take a look at the new MLS roster rules and how they could affect teams going forward.

  • Going Through the Motions: Chicago Fire 0 - 0 NYCFC
    Jul 16 2024

    Hey, soccer fans! Over the weekend, the Chicago Fire participated in another match. They went through the motions of a starting lineup, and their opponent - New York City FC - seemed perfectly content to also "mail it in." The result was a boring 90min of scoreless soccer. Tune in as Nick gives his reactions to the play, the players, and the stats. In the second half of the show, he previews the next match for the Men in Red, an away-day to FC Cincinnati. A meeting with the current Supporters' Shield leaders is not what the Fire need to try to salvage points, but here it is.

  • Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: Chicago Fire Lose to San Jose Quakes
    Jul 9 2024

    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. Tune in as Nick breaks down the goal, the moments of the match, and the stats.

    In the second half of the show, Nick discusses some of the headlines from around MLS. Thiago Almada's record-setting transfer to Botafogo is completed. DC United sign forward Dom Badji. We finally break down the MLS All-Star roster.

  • Barely Believable: Chicago Fire Complete the Comeback against Philadelphia
    Jul 4 2024

    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 breakdown of the match.

    In the second half of the show, our host Nick looks ahead at the Fire's next match, a very winnable fixture against the San Jose Quakes. The Quakes recently fired their head coach and have been the worst team in MLS for most of the season. Their defense bleeds goals, and it's a matchup the Fire attackers will look to exploit.
