Hey, soccer fans! Do you belive in deja vu? The Chicago Fire's latest match - a loss to FC Cincinnati - sure felt like their prior outing against FCC just much worse. The Men in Red blew two one-goal leads, missed a PK in stoppage time, and conceded the game-winning PK just minutes later. Tune in as Nick vents his frustration with the lack of player execution and coaching failures.

He focuses on a concerning trend of player rotation and substitutions from Gregg Berhalter and his staff. They appeared to be rotating players around their US Open Cup match vs. St. Louis City and their match against a bad Sporting Kansas City team, but then make no proactive subs to preserve the wins against Cincinnati in both matches.

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire - the winningest MLS team in US Open Cup history - advanced to the Round of 16 after a 2-1 victory over Detroit City FC. The Men in Red dominated the first half, and Jason Shokalook scored a brace in his first start for the Fire first team. However, a DCFC goal, a red card to Puso Dithejane, and a freight train all in the span of five minutes propelled the USL Championship side to nearly equalizing. In what was a chaotic second half, the Fire survive and advance to take on St. Louis City SC in the next round.

Nick also previews the upcoming match against FC Cincinatti. He predicts a draw, but notes that both teams have lots of roster questions due to injuries and the defenses may be prone to lapses. Cincy will also be without key player Kevin Denkey, who will be serving a red card suspension. Can the Fire take advantage and extend their win streak to four matches?
