"On this week's soccer deep dive, Ryan, Taylor and Joe turn their collective attention to the Second City. Chicago Fire has heritage, the passionate support of a major city and an owner who is willing to invest - so why have they only had one MLS playoff berth since 2012." https://open.spotify.com/episode/1uecixe7dOPjhxcXjtbknm MIR '97: Entering the Ring: Zach Thornton’s Ring of Fire recognition is long overdue https://meninred97.com/entering-the-ring-zach-thorntons-ring-of-fire-recognition-is-long-overdue/ MIR '97: Second Chances: Chicago Fire vs Atlanta United Match 10 Preview https://meninred97.com/second-chances-chicago-fire-vs-atlanta-united-match-10-preview/ On Tap Sports: Chicago Soccer Weekend Preview: Red Stars vs. Thorns, Fire vs. Atlanta https://ontapsportsnet.com/fire/chi...nd-thorns-how-to-watch-tv-channel-live-stream Atlanta United Availability Report: https://www.atlutd.com/news/atlanta...ented-by-piedmont-vs-chicago-fire-fc-april-27 Section 8 Tailgate Tomorrow is a very special day as #cf97 legend Zach Thornton will be inducted into the Ring of Fire ❤️🔥🔥Get there early for the ceremony and join the tailgate party in the South Lot🗣️Then get loud for our Men In Red working for the 3 points vs ATL#VamosFire https://t.co/Fa6XZAos6U pic.twitter.com/CXaSQt7tJp— Section 8 Chicago (@Section8Chicago) April 26, 2024 The Lantern: Vibe Check-Chicago Fire FC vs Atlanta United Matchday 11 Preview (Patreon) https://www.patreon.com/TheLantern Field Level Media: Atlanta United trying to protect leads, take aim at Fire https://fieldlevelmedia.com/mls/atlanta-united-trying-to-protect-leads-take-aim-at-fire/ Major League Soccer Soccer dawt com: Tyler Tehrens-Ranking the best #10's in MLS https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/360-view-ranking-the-best-no-10s-in-mls --------------------------------------------- Non Fire News ---------------------------------------------- All Footy games on TV today: https://firsttouchonline.com/soccer-tv/ Chicago Red Stars: Media availability World Soccer Talk: Pochettino says he doesn't currently speak with Chelsea owners https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/pochettino-says-he-doesnt-currently-speak-with-chelsea-owners/ World Soccer Talk: CBS Sports announces new free UEFA Champions League channel https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/cbs-sports-announces-new-free-uefa-champions-league-channel/ Stars & Stripes: USMNT weekend viewing guide: facing off https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2...ewing-guide-facing-off-bundesliga-epl-serie-a SBI Soccer: Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Pulisic faces McKennie, and more https://sbisoccer.com/2024/04/americans-abroad-weekend-preview-pulisic-faces-mckennie-and-more Pro Soccer Wire: The landscape of American owners in Europe's top leagues https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/lists/american-owners-european-leagues-glazers-kroenke/ Pro Soccer Wire: Indianapolis mayor pursues MLS expansion, leaving Indy Eleven with uncertain future https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/2024/04/26/indianapolis-mls-expansion-indy-eleven-stadium-usl/ Clutch Points: Manchester United rumors: 11 players to be axed in a massive rebuilding job https://clutchpoints.com/manchester-united-rumors-11-players-to-be-axed-in-a-massive-rebuilding-job ESPN: Ten Hag: Rashford and I 'know' the reasons for his poor season https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_...d-ten-hag-marcus-rashford-reasons-poor-season
Haile-Selaisse being out is brutal. Only winger that has something. Mueller is a robot with little quality. Arigoni is stiff at on the ball at LB, Gutman injury is so annoying
I failed on the date again! Damn. I actually didn't drink for the first time in a week. That was probably why.
Top 10 list of MLS players playing #10 position forgot to list a Fire player, but did list Djordje at 10th.
Yes, as New Orleans is "agreeing" with you. You stop drinking in NO and bad things happen. You don't stop drinking in New Orleans and bad things happen, but 1) at least you have a good time while the bad things happen and 2) you don't remember the bad things.
https://meninred97.com/fire-at-atlanta-tactics-and-starting-xi-2/ I like the call to start Mauri, he’s played in the pivot plenty of times, and this supports the flex on transition to 3 CB with the wing backs playing up… I suspect at times it will also look 4-2-3-1 in the mid third play Just need to avoid anymore injuries
I know! Brian Gutierrez did not make the cut. Shocking! Really, either or both of Brian G and Shaqiri should be on the list. However, neither have shown nearly enough to be on the list.
Based upon their play this season, neither should be on it. A consistently strong CAM playing centrally would be a major, major help for team.
Weird that only two teams in the West have a negative goal difference, F_C_ Dallas at -5 San Jose with a Fire-esque -11
