There is bad, and then there’s whatever the Fire were on Saturday night against Real Salt Lake.

Alex is joined by Matt Shabelman of Men In Red 97 to pick through the wreckage of that performance and evaluate the reactions it produced.

A rain-soaked draw in New England and a hammering in Atlanta see the Fire return home looking extinguished. What went wrong on the road trip? What’s (still) not working? Who’s to blame? Should Frank Klopas’ seat be starting to get warm? How important is the Fire’s upcoming run of games with a lot at home? Meanwhile, the US Open Cup returns this week as Fire II (or maybe more accurately Fire 1.5) face Forward Madison. Alex is joined by CHGO Fire regular Joe Chatz to talk through it all.

The Chicago Fire just won one of the weirdest games ever… but first! Alex is joined by Chicago Fire II Head Coach Ludovic Taillandier ahead of Wednesday’s start to the US Open Cup, in which CF2 will take on Chicago USL League 2 side Chicago City SC. We discuss the opportunity this presents the team and in particular it’s young players, and what success looks like in this odd year for America’s oldest soccer competition. Then, Alex is joined by Guillermo Rivera to get into the last 2 games: a brief rundown of a classic Fire heartbreak in Columbus, then all the wild windy twists and turns of Saturday’s 4-3 chaos against Montreal at Soldier Field.

The Chicago Fire returned home to Soldier Field this weekend back in red! Alex and guest co-host Nick Poteres of Glass House Soccer speak with Chicago Fire Vice President of Matchday Operations and Guest Experience Joey Colby-Begovich about his vision for Fire home games and some of the new things we saw on Saturday. As for something that wasn’t new, the Fire lost 2-1 to FC Cincinnati as a result of self-inflected mistakes while struggling to create chances. What went wrong? What might the solutions be? How does the difficult early schedule impact trying to make improvements?
