The Chicago Fire just had their best week in a long time! Maybe ever? A road win in Orlando powered by a Hugo Cuypers brace, the announcement of a new stadium, Chris Brady is going to the Gold Cup, and a barnstorming blowout of DC United featuring a hat trick by Tom Barlow of all people! Alex is joined by Fire radio broadcaster Max Thoma to enjoy all the good news and good vibes ahead of this week's Stars/Fire doubleheader at Soldier Field!

At long last! After months of whispers and not so subtle hints, the Chicago Fire on Tuesday morning unveiled their plans for a 22,000 seat, privately funded, soccer-specific stadium in Chicago's South Loop. Construction is expected to begin this fall, with the expectation it will be completed ahead of the 2028 MLS season. What does this mean for the Fire? For Chicago sports? Alex is joined by CHGO Cubs contributor and WGN Radio's Kevin Wells to react to and break down the news.

Last week started well for the Fire, with a dominant 4-1 win on the road against Charlotte FC powered by two goals and an assist for Brian Gutierrez. It ended Sunday with a 1-0 lead that turned into a 3-1 loss to NYCFC at Yankee Stadium in large part due to Gutierrez elbowing an opponent in the face and being sent off. This will be the second time he's been suspended this season, and by the end of the suspension he will have missed seven matches due to either suspension, injury or national team duty. What do we make of the enigma that is Guti? Also, the Fire advanced in the Open Cup and we now know their path to a potential record breaking fifth title. Can they do it? Should it be prioritized over the league? Alex is joined by Kiril Anastasov of Chicago Sports Nation for all that and more.

The Fire played three home games in the last week and came away with two wins and a draw! What can we learn from the red-card tainted draw with Orlando, Open Cup demolition of Detroit, and long-awaited home breakthrough vs Atlanta? Plus, is Kevin De Bruyne headed for a different city known for its pizza? And how are the Fire's kids doing these days? It's an ‘Alex and Alex Show' as Alex Calabrese of Men in Red 97 Media is in studio to chat about all of that!

The Fire have played three games since our last show: an entertaining draw vs Messi and friends, a sloppy and crazy 3-2 loss to Cincinnati, and an humiliating blowout at the hands of Gregg Berhalter's former assistant B.J. Callaghan and Nashville SC. What's gone wrong, what's not working, and what can we conclude after 10 games? Then, the Chicago grassroots soccer community, Edgewater Castle FC President and General Manager Andrew Swanson joins the show to talk about the team's new podcast ‘Stone By Stone,' promotion and relegation and the state of the lower-division landscape.

Since our last show, the Chicago Fire went on a three-game road trip and returned to Chicago with a maximum nine points! Led by goal-a-game striker Hugo Cuypers, the Fire now sit tied for second place in the Eastern Conference despite continuing to deal with injuries and absences. Alex breaks down the last few weeks and what Gregg Berhalter has this team doing so right, before being joined by Joe Lowery of Backheeled and the Total Soccer Show to discuss his Hugo Cuypers stock increasing in value, Berhalter's success amid USMNT struggles, and the biggest takeaways from the first month of the MLS season.

The podcast is back and the Fire are two games into the Gregg Berhalter era! How's that going so far and what can be taken from just 180 minutes of soccer? Also, the Fire officially unveiled their brand new, state-of-the-art training center and it is pretty spectacular. Alex is joined by good friends of the show Joe Chatz and Tim Hotze for a jam packed 2025 debut.

Join the DIEHARDS for just $4 a month! https://www.allchgo.com/intro-offer-youtube The long-running disaster that was the 2024 Chicago Fire season has finally come to an end, culminating in an abysmal home performance over the weekend to solidify this as the worst season by record in team history. Alex Campbell is joined by Joe Chatz to briefly eulogize, before they move on to discuss comments by Fire owner Joe Mansueto and new Director of Football and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter at last Thursday's press conference. Finally, a Chicago pro men's soccer team won a playoff game… kind of. It's all happening now on the CHGO Fire Podcast.

After weeks of smoke and rumors, it's official: Former United States Men's National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter is the Fire's new Director of Football and head coach. Is hiring someone for both jobs a smart idea? What does this mean for the Fire? What happens next? Alex is joined by Alex Calabrese of Men in Red 97 Media for this Emergency Podcast to break down the big news.

With two losses in their last three matches, the Chicago Fire have all but sealed a seventh consecutive season missing the playoffs despite MLS having a hilarious number of teams make the cut every year. Alex assesses the latest damage, what's gone so wrong this time, and muses about a potential new era ahead. Then, Joe Lowery of Backheeled and the Total Soccer Show joins to discuss the Fire potentially hiring Gregg Berhalter and notable season storylines from around Major League Soccer.

At this point, watching the Chicago Fire feels like some sort of punishment. After being obliterated by Messi-less Miami in front of 55,000 spectators and Jason Derulo, a change of venue didn't help as they lost to DC United in Bridgeview. Alex Campbell and Joe Chatz of OnTap Sports want to talk about those games as little as possible, so they take listener questions! Is there any hope for this team? Who deserves to be kept around? How long would a proper rebuild take? We try to provide some answers and optimism on the CHGO Fire Podcast.

Hey, soccer fans! It's officially official: the Chicago Fire have returned to Red! Listen in as Nick describes his night as a VIP guest of the club. Don't forget to find all his photos and videos from the night posted to social media, and see for yourself DaMarcus Beasley, Dave Baldwin, Sparky, and the Return to Red Kit. The Chicago Fire also wrapped up their pre-season with results on the pitch and roster moves. Our host breaks down the official signings of Hugo Cuypers and Kellyn Acosta, the transfer of Kacper Przybylko, the loan of Justin Reynolds, and the potential move of Arnaud Souquet. In the second half of the show, Nick looks at the drama around the US Open Cup and the PRO Referee lockout. There's no shortage of words to describe either situation, and Nick kept his mouth running!

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire are back home and the USMNT are defending the Gold Cup - it's a great weekend for soccer in Second City. Your Men in Red welcome Nashville SC to Soldier Field and look to steal three points from the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference. Though down a couple starters to international duty, you can bet that Hany Mukhtar and Dax McCarty are going to be on their game looking to counter-attack the Fire. Tune in to hear how Nashville stacks up against Chicago, and how the Fire can find a way to win. Also, there's drama in the Fire locker room as striker Kacper Przybylko posts on social media about going to a place where he is valued. Where there's smoke, there's fire...and the Fire locker room may soon be ablaze. In the 2nd half, our host Nick looks at notable matches from around the league and around the country. When not watching the Fire, his eyes will be on Atlanta vs. Montreal, LAFC vs. San Jose, and Vancouver vs. Seattle....and the USMNT! The Gold Cup Quarterfinals kick-off July 8 and 9, and Nick's picking the USA to repeat as champions.

Hey, Fire fans! The Men in Red put on another joke of a performance at Charlotte FC during their midweek match. Despite the first half goal from Kacper Przybylko (who nearly turned a breakway into a blunder), the Chicago Fire allowed the opposition two late goals. The club from the Queen City saw Brandon Cambridge announce himself to MLS with a two goal performance. The Fire again showed their mental weakness, their tactical incompetence, and poor defending. In the show's second half, our host looks at the salaries of the Chicago Fire, as recently released by the MLS Players Association (MLSPA). It's not surprising that Shaqiri is vastly underperforming his contract, but the numbers paint a bigger picture of incompetent spending and clueless roster building. Nick compares the Fire roster salaries to LAFC - a team known for constructing solid rosters year over year - and poses the question: What if we took $4 million from Shaqiri's contract and spent it on better players on the bottom half of the roster? ⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube
