Moreso than ever before during the Ezra Hendrickson era, things are looking up for the Chicago Fire. In spite of yet another low turnout at Soldier Field, the Fire stunned unbeaten Minnesota United, 2-1 thanks to a pair of first half goals from their most experienced player, and soared up
Last weekend at Soldier Field, the Fire only managed a goalless draw against D.C. United. Although the Fire certainly weren’t at their best on the night, the performance certainly warranted more than a point. This has been the story of the Fire’s season thus far. Sitting 12th
The Chicago Fire may be on a three-match unbeaten streak, but entering this weekend's home matchup with Minnesota United, there is a sense of urgency that more wins are needed. While the Fire haven't lost at home, tomorrow's match will be a sneakily difficult
Wayne Rooney’s D.C. United pressed the Fire hard in the first half. Like the Fire, D.C.’s 4-2-3-1 shape would devolve into a 4-4-2 when pressing high up the pitch. Despite the intensity of the press, however, the Fire were able to find ways to break it
For their fifth match of the season, the Fire hosted an in-transition D.C. United Team led by Wayne Rooney. It would be a fairly boring match as both teams combined only posted five total shots and pass completion rates under 75%. The Fire would line up in a 4-2-3-1

Following their first win of the season week in Miami, the Chicago Fire return to Soldier Field to take on Wayne Rooney and D.C. United. Ahead of Saturday's clash with one of MLS' most historic clubs, we spoke with Sarah Kallassy of the District Press to
In a battle of 4-2-3-1 vs. 4-2-3-1, it was the Fire who came out on top against an ever-so-resilient Inter Miami. Although the Fire will always look to keep the ball when they can, they struggled to do so against Miami, as they held just a third of the total
