Guys zipping this way and that way and the sucky EPL etc. It's just too much nonsense to keep up with. I pretty much keep this Non Fire news focused to Chicago Red Stars, USA national teams both men's and woman's, MLS news that's tertiary to the Fire and any huge important happenings around the soccer world that are relevant. I just skipped over 15 articles on transfer rumors and money grab friendlies. Bah humbug to that.
No need to follow transfers because Fire have (apparently ) decided the roster is set to win it all next year. Of course, they will not make playoffs this year.
All? That is optimistic! Including LEAGUES CUP®! and the US Open Cup?!? Let's shoot for the Moon and win the World Cup, as well! Although, we are ONLY 28 points out of the Supporters Shield, with 9 matches to go, we are OFFICIALLY out of that race, as our maximum point haul could be 52. Miami currently sit on 53 points.
