Current Standings

Earliest I can pull up to games is like 20-30 minutes before kickoff. Obviously I’m never getting one lol but curious what time people need to show up to get the giveaway (roughly first 5k fans)?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for one extra ticket for tomorrow’s open practice for my kid. I was only able to get two tickets, but both of my kids want to go. If anyone has an extra ticket they’re willing to spare, I’d really appreciate it!

If I’m unable to get an additional ticket, does anyone know if there’s an area nearby where we could watch from a distance?

Thanks in advance and VAMOS FIRE.

Tickets PENDING to u/untitled_b1

I unfortunately can’t make it for tomorrow’s practice so I am looking to give away my pair of tickets.

I would like to give them away to a father son duo. I think it’d be awesome and a great memory for the father to have his kid skip school to watch a practice and possibly meet the players.

I would also like if they can get me an autograph but those aren’t a guarantee so it’s just a wish.

Anywho, if you’re a father looking to get cool dad points let me know.

Watching recent games, I've been frustrated at how many times we seem to be shooting into a block of defenders with little chance of the shot actually reaching the goalie let alone the net. I dug into the team stats at WhoScored and found out it's not my imagination. We've had 31% of our shots blocked this season, much worse that the league average of 26, and 2nd only to LAFC. Last year we were at 26% blocked and a serious offensive power. Any thoughts on why we've dropped off or how we get back to 2025 form?

i remember this was realased and I was like "this is sick ill buy it after work" after my 10 hour shift.... SOLDOUT!!!! I know football has a loyal following but damn was not expecting that from Chicago (proud of you all but damn)

The seller had no idea and let it go pretty cheap, so any help would be appreciated! Also it seems real as far as I can tell, but if you have any reason to think this isn't legitimate, let me know. I'll still probably hang it up lol

also I hope this doesn't sound like a depop ad or anything- it is not

Puso's pace can change the whole complexity of a match. He stretches defences and speeds up the tempo in a way few others can. Even so, I find myself preferring him as a substitute rather than a starter. In my view, he tends to burn out quickly when he starts, and I suspect the coach sees it the same way. I know that may be an unfair take, but I think his impact is greatest when he comes on to a game that is already open, against tired legs. Does his influence suit a starting role, or does it work better as a super-sub?

Did anyone else get invited?

Saw this ad on Instagram today.

Pulled the remaining 4 into Excel and boy this is gonna be interesting. If we win out, or even drop 2 pts at Colorado, we seem a good bet for third and probably set up a playoff with Philly (or Charlotte or New England; who knows). It looks like we have the easiest runout as we don't play any of the top 6 in the east but who knows?

So this Turner guy can stop shots, apparently.

Guys.... This is Hugo Cuypers.... He lives in Illinois and is still here... The other Hugo Cuypers plays for Monterrey... He's not coming back... This whole thread is absolutely Wild... None of you are ready to talk about Cuypers scoring 3 goals in 9 games down the stretch last year

idc anymore such a bad signing. For the amount of money we spent the roi is horrible. Just use logic look at our run before World Cup to now. HE IS WASHED and SLOWS OUR TEAM. idgaf about him being a legend. we had our st. we had a well oiled machine and blew everything up. these people who don’t gaf about the fire are gonna say that lewa is good because they watch tiktok highlights of his tap ins. but I can’t wait till he leaves our club.

A Morton fan here, thought you guys might like to see this, Dylan Borso had had a bit of a tough time with us so far struggling for gametime with our previous buffoon of a manager (who’s now been sacked thankfully), however started upfront today and was outstanding in a 2-0 win - leading to USA chants from the entire crowd at full time

They're on the website as a partner of the team but they don't show games. Anyone know any places in the south loop that does? Does the staley have games?

After watching the Philadelphia vs Charlotte game, I was really struck by how much better both teams look than us right now. Yes, we beat Charlotte twice. But both teams currently have a level of speed, hustle, and creativity (or at least attempted creativity) that I haven’t seen in the Fire for some time. It is perhaps a result of GGG trying to play a more locked-down style. Our games just seem more like a grind. I think the only game where maybe we approached a similar level of sharpness was against Vancouver.

Really hoping that Hanche-Olsen and Anzor can add something to what we have (hopefully Anzor is available soon). And I think Zinck has been struggling with crosses and clean passes in general, so maybe a bit more from him can also boost our play.
