    The Bonfire | Klopas tries the 4-4-2; Salquist out, who takes his place?; NEWS!; Revs visit in "must dominate" match for Fire; Can Gutierrez create for Cuypers? | S2:E15

    Alan is joined by DJ and Tim to break down the stalemate against Atlanta United. First, a lot of news. The Fire had national attention this week when The Total Soccer Show featured the club, but it wasn't flattering. The Fire may soon be on the hunt for a new home after the Bears announced plans for a new stadium on the lakefront. MLS to Indy in ongoing war between MLS and USL. The New England Revolution and Carlos Gil visit Soldier Field this weekend in a game that should determine the short term future of some members of the club.  Why is this a game that Chicago must dominate? (Hint: 1-7-1)
