Hey, soccer fans! Nick has somewhat recovered from his night at the MLS Play-In Game where the Chicago Fire defeated Orlando City 3-1 to advance to the 1st round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The Men in Red played a nearly perfect match, outworking, outplaying, and outcoaching their opposition. Brian Gutierrez opened the scoring, and Hugo Cuypers sealed the win with two goals of his own. But no one on the Fire had a poor or even mediocre match. This will surely give the Fire faithful a boost of confident, and maybe give Philadelphia Union fans some doubt.

Hey, soccer fans! Nick is back after a two-week hiatus reviewing and previewing all the Chicago Fire's latest matches. He looks at a nerve-wracking win over New England, a deflating loss to New York City FC, and a matchup with a (hopefully) tired and rotated Minnesota United. After all this, where does that leave our Men in Red in the playoff picture? 6th place looks out of reach, 7th might be achievable with a little luck, but 8th place is going to be hard enough to secure with the Red Bulls close behind.
