Chris Brady is the goalkeeper in the MLS Team of the Matchweek #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

FULL TIME! FIRE WIN 1-0 OVER THE EASTERN CONFERENCE LEADERS The first minute Zinckernagel tally holds up and the Fire move up to 5th in the Eastern Conference Standings Man of the Match performance for Chris Brady. Mbokazi, Gutman, Barroso all great on defense #cf97 #vamosfire

HALFTIME! Not the most eventful half in the world outside of the fastest goal in team history! Few chances either side, wind playing a big part Fire 1 Nashville 0 #cf97 #vamosfire

PHILIP ZINCKERNAGEL SCORES 16 SECONDS IN!!!!! Assist to Jo Bamba, what a start! 1-0 #cf97 #vamosfire

LINEUP! Hugo Cuypers is OUT, but Jack Elliott makes the bench. Front 4 of Haile-Selassie, Zinckernagel, Bamba and Lod will have to generate the attack with the help of the fullbacks #cf97 #vamosfire

Notes from Gregg Berhalter ahead of Saturday's game vs Nashville Mbekezeli Mbokazi had some travel issues and is still en route back from South Africa. TBD if he'll play Saturday. Jack Elliott is back in training and is a game-time decision. He lost 8 pounds while sick with a blood infection #cf97

NEW POD @acampbellsports.bsky.social is joined by @joechatz.bsky.social of @chicagofire.bsky.social Radio + @ontapsportsnet.bsky.social to recap the DC loss and the Philly win, highlighted by the impact of Gutman and Radojevic at left back #cf97 #vamosfire #mls allchgo.com/chgo-fire-po...

LIVE at 3:30!! Join @acampbellsports.bsky.social and Chicago Fire Radio’s @joechatz.bsky.social to discuss the contrasting games against DC and Philly, red hot Hugo Cuypers and the importance of Andrew Gutman #cf97 #vamosfire youtube.com/live/igMJXio...

It was another blown lead at home in March against DC, but a first win in Philly in 13 years! Plenty to discuss, including the return/importance of Andrew Gutman, the wild card that is Viktor Radojevic, head injuries, sepsis, international call-ups, all sorts of stuff #cf97 #vamosfire

With his 4th goal of the season, Hugo Cuypers makes the MLS Team of the Matchday! #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Chris Brady in #USMNT training! (From @usmnt.ussoccer.com on Instagram) #cf97 #vamosfire

FULL TIME Fire 2 Union 1 Goals by Cuypers and Bamba (on nice assists by Gutman and Lod) hand Philly a 5th consecutive loss to start their season Not a pretty game, some chances were missed, but a W is a W #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Only big news from Gregg Berhalter's matchday-minus-2 presser is that captain Jack Elliott is OUT this Saturday against his former team with an illness #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHRISTOPHER BRADY #usmnt #cf97

FIRE XI Cuypers and Barroso both START Fire go to a 4-2-3-1, first time we’re gonna see the presumed starting front 4 together in the regular season Looks like it’s gonna be Dean at RB with Barroso at LB, but a flip of that wouldn’t be shocking #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Injury updates from Gregg Berhalter ahead of Saturday's game vs DC Leo Barroso and Hugo Cuypers are both Questionable, with Berhalter commenting that Barroso looks really good + he's gotten good feedback from the medical staff Andrew Gutman remains Out despite returning to training today #cf97 #mls

CHRIS BRADY is your MLS Team of the Matchday goalkeeper for his 4 save-shutout of Columbus (which was also aided by a 5th save from Dylan Borso) Per FotMob, he prevented 1.71 xG and completed 10 of 14 attempted long balls #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

FULL TIME MBOKAZI IS DENIED BY SCHULTE ON THE LAST KICK OF THE GAME 😱😱😱 Fire 0 Crew 0 All in all, a good road point on a night without Cuypers where Barroso and Mueller were both subbed out with injuries #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

Cuypers is OUT, Mueller starts up front with Bamba and Zinckernagel Victor Radojevic is in the squad for the first time Pineda keeps his spot alongside Saletros in midfield As expected, back 3 and Haile-Selassie at left wing-back #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

It’s an all-Liga MX Leagues Cup slate for the Fire at SeatGeek: Necaxa, Santos Laguna, Cruz Azul #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

NEW POD! @acampbellsports.bsky.social reflects on today's Chicago Fire stadium grounbreaking at The 78 on a historic day for soccer in Chicago Then, the Fire only half showed up in Houston and lost, but half-effort would have been enough to beat Montreal #cf97 #mls allchgo.com/chgo-fire-po...

Stadium construction is officially underway, now let’s do a podcast! #cf97 #vamosfire #mls www.youtube.com/live/2M97LpK...

Let’s break some ground! #cf97 #mls

BUSY DAY tomorrow! The Fire will break ground at their new stadium! Keep an eye out on CHGO Sports socials for updates from The 78 After that we'll have a show, time TBD (between 3:30-4:30 start) reacting to that event + recapping Houston and Montreal! #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

HOME OPENER XI Elliott is fit enough to start, he partners Mbokazi with Dean at left back Pineda replaces D’Avila alongside Saletros Jonathan Bamba is also in from the start, Haile-Selassie on the opposite wing #cf97 #mls

Injury updates from Gregg Berhalter’s matchday -2 presser Andrew Gutman remains OUT Jonathan Dean is back in training after the birth of his daughter Robin Lod joins Jonathan Bamba and Jack Elliot as questionable for Saturday. There was no mention of Sam Rogers, who is likely out #cf97 #mls

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

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
