It took until the last half hour to get going but the Chicago Fire found a way to break through and get a win, finishing 3-1 against Santos Laguna in their second game of the Leagues Cup, in a game where seven starters from Thursday rotated, giving 16-year-old Robert Turdean his first minutes and first with the first team.
Before digging into all that, though, the duo talk about the state of the Fire's transfer window, with Leon Goretzka still available – for a price. John and Tim talk about the rumored move and the Fire's transfer strategy for the rest of the window, then Tim talks about one of the shortest – and weirdest – press conferences of his career.
Finally, they preview the Fire's final challenge of the group stage, with the team set to take on Cruz Azul this Thursday, once again at SeatGeek Stadium, and discuss what all but certainly make this the toughest test the Fire have faced in this tournament.
