Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire are back in action after a dissapointing loss to the Philadelphia Union. This weekend they take on a New England Revolution team that still believes in their playoff chances. However, the Men in Red are a much better team on paper and in practice. I'm predicting a 3-1 victory for the Fire, especially the way they're playing in Bridgeview this season. We also have an update on Claudio Cassano, who as reported by Alex Calabrese of Men in Red 97, will be loaned to FC Lugano. THough inelligible to play for CFII due to his salary, he is more than deserving of the opportunity to play first team minutes in Lugano after dominating MLS Next Pro.

Hey, soccer fans! Did you enjoy the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and Game? My family and I sure did! Even moreso, we enjoyed the Fire's 2 game point streak and seeing Philip Zinckernagel continue his fine form against the Liga MX All-Stars. In this episode, Nick first explores Chris Mueller's announcment of his diagnosis of pericarditis. He then recaps the Chicago Fire's victory vs. CF Montreal, previews their game against New York Red Bull, and breaks down the Eastern Conference standings. The Men in Red are poised to make a push for the playoffs after defeating the bottom of the conference, but can they take enough points from better teams to find the post-season? Also, Nick looks at the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and Game, what he'd improve about them, and how great it was to have Philip Zinckernagel representing Chicago in Austin. The show wraps with Nick's scouting report of reported Fire transfer target, Patrick Berg of Norway. While he'd be a great addition to the midfield, he is not worth the $12 million dollar asking price or a Designated Player spot. Can the Fire get a reasonable deal done for one of the top talents in the Eliteserien? Tune in and join the conversation! Make sure you like & subscribe, rate & review, and keep growing the show.
