CHGO Chicago Fire Podcast

The Chicago Fire split their last two matches since the last show. First, in a deja vu of last year, they blew at late lead at home vs DC United and came up empty in a frustrating performance. Then, on the road in Philadelphia, they took the lead twice and held it the second time to take 3 points from the hapless Union in a game that saw the return of Andrew Gutman but an early exit for Philip Zinckernagel. One thing that was the same: Hugo Cuypers of course scored in both games! What have we learned about the 2026 Fire so far? How do we feel about this team that is so consistently inconsistent? Alex and Joe Chatz of WLS/On Tap Sports net discuss on this edition of CHGO Fire Podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
