Following a second straight clean sheet and third straight win, the Chicago Fire find themselves in 2nd place in the MLS Eastern Conference only trailing Nashville SC who they deal their first loss of the season between victories in Philadelphia and against Atlanta.
What’s changed to get the Fire into this rhythm? Who has stood out? Is winning games 1-0 sustainable for this team? Does this make us less worried about the health of Hugo Cuypers? How excited should fans be getting about this team as we look ahead to what feels like a softer stretch of the schedule?
Also, the Fire begin their 2026 Open Cup journey tonight in Detroit! Where should the tournament rank as a priority for Gregg Berhalter? John Thornton of Men In Red 97’s ‘The Bonfire’ joins Alex for an exciting edition of the CHGO Fire Podcast
