Hey, soccer fans! No one likes boring soccer, and no one likes a draw. So by that logic, no one liked the Chicago Fire's match against the Columbus Crew this weekend. Both teams were dealing with injuries and neither wanted to press their attack too hard and give up a an easy counter-attack goal to lose the match. As a result, we saw a game played in the middle third of the field. There were a couple good chances by each team - for the Men in Red, newcomers Dylan Borso and Mbekezeli Mbokazi could've found game winners - but Patrick Schulte and Chris Brady were up to the challenge.
Listen in as Nick breaks down the big plays, analyzes the statisticis, and expresses his concerns for the Fire's position thus far. He also discusses the news of former Columbus Crew players Yaw Yeboah and Derrick Jones receiving lifetime bans from Major League Soccer for gambling on games they played in. How does this affect MLS' reputation and how will their new partnership with predictive market platform Polymarket be affected?
