Fire Get All 3 Points versus Montreal
The game at DC on Wednesday was not pretty but the result was. The same could be said versus Montreal. There were times where an equalizer seemed inevitable but the Fire defense did not break. Brady and company rode it out to their 6th shutout of the season.

Fire Bounce Back Against DC
After getting blown out 3-0 at home versus the young NY Red Bulls, Chicago needed a good performance to right the ship as we near the World Cup break. It wasn’t looking good as they gave up the opening goal while mostly controlling the game..

Chicago Holds Off Atlanta, 1-0
The warmest home game of the season so far (trust me, its a low bar) saw the team eek out another 1-0 win against a fellow Eastern Conference rival. Unlike last week where they scored 15 seconds into the game, Chicago took all the way to the 13th minute to score…

Mexico Stock Watch
The March window is over with Mexico drawing against Portugal and Belgium. Both were good results and showed what Mexico can do against top opponents. This is the last call up before the World Cup roster will be announced in May. So who improved their stock ?

Mexico draw versus Portugal in Azteca
Mexico held their own against a side that has real aspirations of lifting the World Cup trophy. I do not understand some of the criticisms of the game plan. Mexico stuck to their plan and kept themselves in the game. Frustrating Portugal and having some chances to score themselves. They do not have the talent to go at Portugal for 90 minutes. The current player pool just does not have it in them to do that. The second half showed that gulf in talent but Mexico’s defense did not break. Even with only 27% possession in the second half, El Tri had the best chance.

Fire Finally Win in Philly
The last time Chicago played the Union it was one of the worst Fire performances I have ever seen in person. They got demolished and some of the people I went to the game with left after just 30 minutes. Luckily, this was a better game for Fire fans.
