FTF Ep. 28 - Beware Greeks Bearing Goals: Fire Draw Atlanta
Hey, Fire fans! It was unofficially Greek Night at Soldier Field with Chicago’s Georgios Koutsias and Atlanta’s Giorgos Giakoumakis combining for three of the six goals on the night. The Greek strikers lifted their teams to a point each, but it was ultimately another disappointing performance by the Men in Red. An abysmal first half was salvaged by a masterful Xerdan Shaqiri corner kick (scored an own goal against the Five Stripes, but we all know it was an Olimpico), and the Fire showed enough effort to salvage a draw. In today's show, our host uses the goals as jumping off points to analyze the Fire's defensive lapses, lack of talent, and how relying on effort - and utility player/try-hard-effort-guy Fabian Herbers - will always lose out to superior talent. Nick also looks at the Fire's schedule over the next several weeks, and explains how the season could be over very soon. How did you feel about the match against Atlanta United?
