Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire marketing team called it the hottest night of the summer, I call it an embarrassment.

In the second half of the show, Nick reviews the USMNT roster for upcoming friendlies against Canada and New Zealand.

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire pulled off an improbable win against league leading FC Cincinnati during their midweek matchup. Despite a decent start, the Men in Red looked lethargic at times, reminiscent of recent sub-par performances. But a bad back-pass from Kip Keller led to a Hugo Cuypers fast break, and the Belgian DP was able to slide a pass to Brian Gutierrez who scored from 6 yards out. It was all the Fire would need to secure only their 2nd road win of the season. In the second half of the show, Nick previews the upcoming match against Inter Miami, and how the Fire will have to play in order to salvage a point against the current league leaders. Even without Messi, the Herons are an explosive team on offense and a capable team on defense. We also take a look at the new MLS roster rules and how they could affect teams going forward.

The Earthquakes were the worst defensive team in the league, and the Fire - through a combination of lazy play, bad tactics, and lack of talent - couldn't find the back of the net. Tune in as Nick breaks down the goal, the moments of the match, and the stats. In the second half of the show, Nick discusses some of the headlines from around MLS. Thiago Almada's record-setting transfer to Botafogo is completed. DC United sign forward Dom Badji. We finally break down the MLS All-Star roster.

Hey, Fire fans! Can you believe that win against the Union? If I hadn't watched it myself, I might not believe it either. With a sleepy start to the match, trading first half goals, and some sloppy defensive play, the Fire looked to squander another opportunity against the struggling Philadelphia Union. However, energy from second half subs, a Union team that dropped into a defensive shell, and some good luck swung fate in favor of the Men in Red. Tune in for all the emotion, the goals, and the breakdown of the match. In the second half of the show, our host Nick looks ahead at the Fire's next match, a very winnable fixture against the San Jose Quakes. The Quakes recently fired their head coach and have been the worst team in MLS for most of the season. Their defense bleeds goals, and it's a matchup the Fire attackers will look to exploit.

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire have started another streak - a losing streak. After taking the lead on a Maren Heile-Selassie strike, the Men in Red concede two second half penalty kicks to blow yet another lead and remain at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. An early injury to Carlos Teran and sub-par play from Jonathan Dean and Rafael Czichos allowed Seattle to turn momentum, and the lack of coaching adjustments from Klopas & Co. allowed Seattle to keep the momentum. Tune in for the plays, the stats, and an analysis of what went wrong. In the second half of the show, Nick looks at the coaching changes from around MLS this season. SIX coaches have been fired this season, with the latest two victims being Luchi Gonzales in San Jose and Bradley Carnell in St. Louis. Will the Fire every "part ways" with Frank Klopas?

Hey, soccer fans! What a weekend to be a Fire fan! The Men in Red put on their best performance of the season picking apart their rivals from north of the border. Chicago dismantled the Toronto defense on their way to a 4-1 victory. This means the Chicago Fire are on a 4 game point streak and a 2 game win streak! We’re back, baby! (Ok, we’re still in 11th place, but 11th place never felt so good!) Join our host as he recaps the victory, relives the goals, and breaks down the stats. In the second half, Nick previews the Fire’s next match: an away-day to Orlando City. The Lions have been underwhelming this season, to say the least. Though they’ve had a lot of success against Chicago in recent seasons - and a draw at Soldier Field just a few weeks ago - the two teams seem to be heading in opposite directions. In fact, Nick likes the Fire to keep climbing up the standings and predicts another victory. Tune in to hear how he thinks they get it done on the road again. We also check in on the USMNT’s preparation for Copa America, hear about Aiden Morris’ new deal, and take listener questions. All this and more on Feed the Fire: A Chicago Fire Podcast.

Hey, soccer fans! Did you enjoy the bye week? I certainly hope the Chicago Fire took the week off to rest, reset, and prepare for their next stretch of away games. Their next match is a difficult but not impossible one at Toronto. While first year manager John Herdman has improved The Reds from last season, they will be without starters Federico Bernardeschi and Nicsoen Gomis due to red card suspensions. I think the Men in Red come home with a 2-1 victory, but they can't take a step back from their recent run of form. In the second half of the show, we look at headlines from around the league - the Giakoumakis transfer, FC Dallas fire head coach Nico Estevez, and Brian Gutierrez has the 15th highest jersey sale of the 2024 MLS season so far! To close out, we take a brief look at the United States Men's National Team's 5-1 loss to Colombia in an international friendly. Remember to rate, review, and share.

Hey, soccer fans! Don't look know, the Chicago Fire on a point streak! The Men in Red have taken 5 points in their last 3 games, capped off by a win over Western Conference opponent Los Angeles Galaxy. Hugo Cuypers has been in form, Brian Gutierrez has stepped up his game, and Chris Brady has continued his quality play.In this episode, we take a look at the Fire's fine run of form, point out some of the flaws they need to fix if they're going to make a push for the playoffs, and have some fun sharing fan mail and experiences from the match. In the second half of the show, Nicks talks about the latest news from Atlanta United - the Five Stripes have parted ways with manager Gonzalo Pineda and are poised to transfer striker Giorgos Giakoumakis to Chivas.

Hey, soccer fans! It was a road point in the nation's capital for the beleaguered Men in Red. Yes, the Chicago Fire did just enough to earn a 1-1 draw against DC United and give themselves and their fans a sliver of hope. Defender Carlos Teran successfully held star striker Christian Benteke in check, while Andrew Gutman created opportunities for the visitors - including starting the play that led to Kellyn Acosta's equalizer. Can the Fire turn this into a point streak? They'll have a mid-week game against a similarly struggling Orlando City side and a weekend matchup with Western Conference power LA Galaxy to test their newfound confidence. In what should be a match between equally desperate teams, Chicago will have the home field advantage against The non-Messi, Florida squad. They will hope to take any momentum into their match vs. the stars of the Galaxy. It could be a big week for the Fire, so tune in and hear what Nick thinks will happen.

The Carlos Teran goal was the lone highlight for the Men in Red who have nothing working. Stay tuned as our host looks back at the match, gives his impressions - both positive and negative - and breaks down the stats. He also recaps the post-game interviews with Chris Brady and Fabian Herbers, and does a listen-in on manager Frank Klopas' post-game press conference.

Hey, soccer fans! The Fire once again lack offense, defense, or any idea what they're doing on the pitch - and it results in a 3-1 loss at the hands of new MLS rival St. Louis CITY SC. Hugo Cuypers does get a goal, but very little else happens in favor of the Men in Red. Tune in as Nick looks at the goals, stats, and gives his instant reaction to head coach Frank Klopas' post game press conference. Nick also takes the tie to look at the Chicago Fire's next two opponents - Charlotte FC and the Columbus Crew. Things certainly don't get easier for the Fire, and they're going to need the shortest of memories to prepare for a double match week. Nick also updates everyone on the latest MLS news, including Omari Glasgow's short term loans, Cavan Sullivan's record signing, and Jesse Marsch's return to coaching...in Canada!

Hey, soccer fans. Remember all that positivity from last week? Well, it's nearly gone. The Chicago Fire lose 1-0 to the worst team in Major League Soccer, the New England Revolution. There's really nothing new to say about the miserable performance of the team: No offense, no goals, defensive lapses, poor individual play, non-existent tactics and coaching... In the second half of the show, we preview the Fire's next loss ... er, match against St. Louis City SC. The Western Conference rival is sitting in 9th place and must be looking at this weekend's matchup as an easy three points. Will the Men in Red be able to take advantage of St. Louis' poor goalkeeping and finally get back on the scoreboard?

Hey, soccer fans! No more negativity (at least for this episode). The Chicago Fire came out with a purpose against an Atlanta United team who thought they would stroll into Solider Field, make quick work of the Men in Red, and stroll out with three points. The Fire's stout defense and quick counter-attacks kept the Five Stripes from getting on the score sheet - and some highlight-reel saves from Fire GK Chris Brady certainly helped. The two teams split the points and look for more next weekend. For the Chicago Fire, this means another home game. They welcome Eastern Conference opponent the New England Revolution - the worst team in MLS at the moment. A victory for the Fire would be huge for their morale and for the fans, and it is within reach if they keep up their up-tempo, attacking style. We conclude the show by looking at the expansion news from Indianapolis and discussing whether the MLS wants to kill USL or just made a dumb move in trying to bring a new team into an already existing - and wildly popular - USL city.

Hey, soccer fans! Welcome back to Feed the Fire! In this episode, we take a look back at the misery of the Men in Red’s latest loss - a 4-0 embarrassment to Real Salt Lake. The Fire looked dysfunctional while MLS MVP candidate Chicago Arrango had a night to remember with 2 goals and 2 assists. Injuries pile up for the Fire, goals pile up against them, and the coaching staff has lost the locker room and respect of the players. In the second half of the show, Nick previews the Fire’s next opponent: Atlanta United. The Five Stripes will be looking to bounce back from a rare home loss to FC Cincinnati. They bring a strong attack, and this game could go the way of the RSL match if the Fire aren’t careful. What’s your prediction? Let us know in the comments below! Remember to rate, review, and share.

Hey, soccer fans! Tell me if you've heard this one before: The Chicago Fire are unable to get their offense going and take advantage of an opportunity to steal points. Well, it happened again at Red Bull Arena. The Men In Red had a man advantage for almost an hour but were unable to create any offense against a home side that was perfectly content to watch the Fire pass the ball harmlessly around the pitch. Tune in as Nick analyzes the various storylines and stats from another underwhelming performance. In the second half of the show, Nick examines the Fire's next opponent: Real Salt Lake. The Western Conference foe is having a solid start to the season behind Diego Luna and Chicho Arrango. The Men in Red will have their hands full with the higher line and counterattacking of the Claret Reds. But the Fire have faired well in cross-conference match ups. What do you think the result will be? Nick also gets caught up on the proposed roster rule changes that may come to MLS this summer - flexibility on Designated Players and U22 Initiative Players, a second buyout option, and increased General Allocation Money (GAM) from transfers. How could the Fire use these new mechanisms to improve this summer? Keep watching to find out! Remember to rate, review, and share.
