    This is not a team that could win many MLS games:

    Chicago Fire: Richard Sanchez; Rafael Ramos (Drew Conner 84’), Johan Kappelhof, Brandon Vincent, Kevin Ellis; Dax McCarty ©, Tony Tchani; Aleksandar Katai (Daniel Johnson 73’), Elliot Collier, Luis Solignac (Alan Gordon 80’), Nemanja Nikolic

    There are, maybe, 4 players who should start for an MLS team:
    Kappelhoff
    McCarty
    Katai
    Nikolic

    Vincent, Tchani, Solignac and Conner are MLS substitute-level players

    Johnson has potential
    Ramos, Ellis and Collier are unknowns
    Sanchez has been extremely unimpressive
    Gordon has no business as a professional anymore

    Hard to imagine any other outcome with that lineup. I think if we can sign Nguyen and Casillas while keeping Katai for the full year, we'll be an exciting team if healthy. This team has 7 good to very good players but everyone else is crap. When 3 of the 7 can't play, it's not going to go well.

    How is Ellis an unknown? He has been in the league for 7 years.

    Thank you for proving my point.
    I have no idea who he is and no idea he had been in the league for 7 years.

    Number 10s don't grow on trees in South America.
