I had to leave the game early because of a family problem. Do the Fire still look as terrible as they did in the first half?

Also, I don't know if you can tell on tv, but the weather is atrocious out there.

1-1 is the final.

I am very, very unhappy with the team I support right now.

I was out to dinner with a friend so I have only been watching snippets of the Chicago game. It looks like both teams are making a lot of mistakes.

Nice win for the Fire away from home.

Watching the replay, that was a drat good pass by Magee to set up the goal. Split a couple of defenders. If only he did more of that and less sitting on the ground complaining to the ref.

Honestly, after the fairytale of last season for Magee, a lot of people are getting tired of his poo poo on-field attitude this year. It's unfortunate.

Watching this after seeing Ger beat Arg. Feels like watching college basketball after the NBA playoffs.

Really loose clouds of plauers, long passes that players scramble to get under, aggressive jumping over the back rather than zone specific defense.

But whatev go local team woo!

Well, except the fact that college basketball is significantly more fun to watch than the NBA.

I'm happy enough with the way the Fire have played this half. Wish we had more chances though.

Also Joya is hanging in the Section, I love when players come by.

two horrible teams playing in a half-full college stadium in the middle of the night

if i weren't watching this streaming on my tablet i'd think it was 1999 MLS.

Mike Magee seems to be confused and thinks he's a third defensive midfielder.

Also, was that an audible "gently caress" on the broadcast?

Hello Towel

Chicago's defense is just utterly incompetent.

An ancient C.J. Brown would probably still be preferable to our backline right now.

I wouldn't say last night's game was "regular." And Hamid stuck around at DC during the bad times, and he's still in the national team picture.

But I still think Johnson will be moving on soon, unfortunately.

2011 Chicago Fire top goalscorer.

Frank Klopas somehow got even worse after being fired by Chicago.

Based on comments from players after he left, it seems like he was the kind of coach that just kind of put out a lineup and let the guys figure the tactics out. That doesn't seem to cut it in MLS anymore.

On the contrary, I think you'll find that former Fire hero Floyd Franks is having a good season in the NASL.

Larentowicz is starting at center back again today.

I wonder if that means the team is looking either offload a CB or get another DM.

Or both.

Nothing is happening in Chicago right now. Both teams just farting around in the midfield mostly.

I very specifically remember Jon Busch being carded once for sitting down and messing with his shoes before taking a free kick.
