Hey, soccer fans! Nick is back, pulled muscle and all, talking about Chicago Fire FC's latest result: a 2-1 loss at home to expansion side San Diego FC. Andres Dreyer showed the Windy City why he was voted an All-Star, and the Men in Red showed why their defense and depth still need work. Tune in as Nick breaks down the stats and key plays from the match. We then preview the Fire's next matchup, and away game at Atlanta United, another team struggling this season. Nick thinks the Fire's season hangs in the balance and the results of the next match could decide the team's fate.

In the second half of the show, Nick reads and reacts to an ESPN article reporting on discussions between FIFA and players' groups for mandatory breaks during the International Match Calendar. While he praises the initiative and the willingness of FIFA to partake in the discussions, he remains skeptical of any meaningful change anytime soon. Let us know your thoughts in the comments and on social media.
