FULL TIME Fire 1 Houston 2 After a dominant 1st half that saw them lead at the break, the Fire never came out of the locker room and were pummeled by the Dynamo in the second half One of the worst periods of Fire soccer in a LONG time Postgame notes to come #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

HALFTIME Fire 1 Dynamo 0 Cuypers (31’) Fire absolutely dominating possession, both teams though showing they have a mistake in them when passing out from the back The Fire have control but they’ll really want more goals #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

HUUUGGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLL CUYPERS puts the Fire in front! A bad Houston back pass sent Cuypers on his way, and he did well to beat a defender before roofing a left footed snot 34’ 1-0 #cf97 #mls #mls-live

FIRE XI It is indeed a back 3 of Rogers, Waterman and Mbokazi with Jack Elliott not in the squad Barroso and Haile-Selassie the wingbacks Hugo Cuypers STARTS Jonathan Bamba is OUT Anton Saletros captains the team on his debut #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Andrew Gutman is OUT for the Chicago Fire vs the Houston Dash this weekend, per Gregg Berhalter. Jonathan Bamba & Hugo Cuypers are still TBD entering the weekend #cf97 #VamosFire

Omari Glasgow heads back to the USL Championship on loan, this time to the west coast with Monterey Bay He was always going to struggle for wing minutes, and fullback minutes weren’t going to be much easier Curious if there will be other loans to follow #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

GOAL FIRE Hugo Cuypers sweeps a shot home after Zinckernagel was taken out by a late challenge and the ref did well to hold off blowing his whistle 1-0 after 30 minutes #cf97

The Fire kick off against the Galaxy at Coachella at noon! #cf97 #vamosfire #mls www.youtube.com/live/cuwTb8m...

Season Debut / Offseason Recap Pod! The podcast is back for it's 5th year, and we start by recapping the comings and goings of roster changes for the Fire this offseason. How is the team shaping up ahead of Gregg year 2? #cf97 #vamosfire #mls allchgo.com/chgo-fire-po...

T-minus 1 hour until the first pod of the year! Departures, Arrivals, Sweden, South Africa, Florida, LA... we promise this is a podcast not an international airport! Time for Gregg 2.0 #cf97 #vamosfire #mls youtube.com/live/30OgGnK...

A podcast that will take us from the northern edges of Europe to the southern most point of Africa! #cf97 #mls #vamosfire

Only the Sounders, who have pretty much done nothing this offseason, are returning more minutes than the Fire from last season Most of that is just Brian Gutierrez, with sprinkles of Romi Kouame, Tom Barlow, Omar Gonzalez and Carlos Teran #cf97 #mls

Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch, I was there when it was written.

Veteran experience and depth added to the GK room Cohen, 33, was the #1 for Phoenix Rising and Sacramento Republic in the USL Championship before 6 seasons with Maccabi Haifa in Israel where his form led to a #USMNT call up in 2023 He played 8 games for Atlanta United #cf97 #mls

JUST IN: The Fire trade Justin Reynolds to Sporting KC in exchange for $100,000 in GAM and a 2028 3rd Round SuperDraft pick The Fire also have a sell-on clause if SKC were to transfer Reynolds out of MLS #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

MORE depth! Lod is super versatile and can do a job basically anywhere in midfield or the forward line At 32 he’s already been a pro for 14 years but he also just played 43 games in 2025 Good MLS experience who helps make the roster more flexible #cf97 #mls

OFFICIAL Guti -> Chivas #mls #cf97 #vamosfire

Jason Shokalook signs with the first team! Basically a replacement for Tom Barlow on less money, but the Fire still are in need of more proven depth behind Hugo Cuypers #cf97 #vamosfire

🚨🚨🚨 Brian Gutierrez to Chivas is being finalized and expected to get done, as reported by Cesar Luis Merlo and @tombogert.bsky.social @amcalabrese.bsky.social had also reported a deal was imminent Fee reportedly in the region of $5 million BIG move for the Chicago kid and Chivas fan #cf97 #mls

Fire roster decision news: Jack Elliott had his option picked up, as did Sam Williams The buy option on Rominigue Kouame’s loan was declined Tom Barlow is out and is now a Free Agent Bryan Dowd’s option was also declined and he is eligible for the Re-Entry Draft #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Odds of Guti moving south this winter just went up… No downside to him having the second passport, keeps his options open in multiple ways #cf97 #usmnt #vamosfire

LIVE at 4 PM w/ Max Anderson! The Fire put in a Gal-ling performance on Saturday as they were bounced from the playoffs... and we're gonna talk about it; the bad and the worse. Also: a new signing already?! #cf97 #vamosfire #mls youtube.com/live/FkpnEvN...

TODAY at 4 We’re gonna recap that game on Saturday, which was bad in any number of ways. Then we’ll try to move towards positive takeaways from this playoff experience. @acampbellsports.bsky.social will be joined by Chicago Fire radio’s Max Anderson! #cf97 #vamosfire

78' The Referee has stopped the game due to the 'chant' persisting, after 3 previous warning Gregg Berhalter is now walking over to the fans himself #cf97 #vamosfire #mls-live

HALFTIME Philly 3 Fire 0 Jeff Gal is having a very very very bad day, Brian Gutierrez missed a penalty, and while the rest of the guys haven't actively made things worse they haven't helped either We'll always have that Orlando game #cf97 #vamosfire #mls-live

Jeff Gal is being boo'd with every touch by the Fire crowd... 😬 #cf97 #mls

35' GOAL PHILLY Damiani scores Somehow Jeff Gal's day gets worse He goes to clear a ball, shanks it into the air, and Baribo volleys into an empty net A complete meltdown from the Fire backup keeper #cf97 #vamosfire #mls-live

26' SUB: Pineda in for Kouame Could be the last time we see Kouame in a Fire shirt Don't really understand bringing a DM into this but... gotta try something? #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

16' GOAL PHILLY, Baribo again A cascade of mistakes... Zinckernagel fails to clear, he and Dean don't close down a cross by Wagner, Baribo gets free from Elliott in the box, and Gal absolutely could have come and claimed but instead retreated into his goal... 0-2 #cf97 #mls-live

8' GOAL PHILLY Jeff Gal gets caught on the ball by a pressing Tai Baribo who picks his pocket and taps into an open net Nightmare scenario plays out early 0-1 #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

LINEUP No Brady, so Jeff Gal gets the start. Philip Zinckernagel is in from the start, as is Brian Gutierrez with the Fire returning to a 3-man midfield Oregel is suspended Bryan Dowd and Sam Williams both into the squad #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Gregg Berhalter on Philip Zinckernagel's potential availability for Saturday: "It's hard to tell right now, he did warm up with the group today but wasn't able to continue" "We still have 48 hours... so it'll be down to the wire" (Q asked by @joechatz.bsky.social) #cf97 #vamosfire #mls
