Alex begins the show by recapping the week in Chicago soccer news, including his thoughts on the NWSL's lack of transparency on their investigation of the racial profiling of Sarah Gorden's boyfriend in Houston and what he'd like to see from the winless Fire this weekend at home vs Philadelphia.

Speaking of which, Alex is then joined by Matt Ralph, the managing editor of Brotherly Game (the Union site at SB Nation) to update all things Philly: their CONCACAF Champions League run, their early season struggles, the impact of Brenden Aaronson and Mark McKenzie's departures and more!
