After a midweek win at home, the Fire return to the road for their final Western Conference matchup of the regular season to take on the San Jose Earthquakes, the team that has far and away the worst record in Major League Soccer, and who are just two matches – both
After a disappointing loss in second-half stoppage time, the Fire remain in the 15th and final place in MLS’s Eastern Conference, and are now six points behind Atlanta and Toronto for the final postseason spots. The team has strange company on the outside of the postseason picture in the

The Fire are back in action following a week off and the team will hope to pick up right where they left off, with a win against the L.A. Galaxy ending the first half of the Fire’s season. The team starts a three game road swing in Toronto,
The Fire have one more chance before the international break – and the halfway point of their season – to find their third win of the season, but to do so, they’ll have to get past an L.A. Galaxy team that went from second last in the Western Conference in
As the Fire host the L.A. Galaxy at the halfway mark of their season, the team finds itself exploring the depths of soccer purgatory: On a winless streak that now stretches to nine matches, just two shy of the team’s all-time record, but also one game shy of
With two games before the team closes the books on the first half of the season, the Fire look for their third win against Orlando City, a team that many picked to finish at or near the top of the Eastern Conference and compete for hardware but who have fallen
