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.

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.

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.
