A cup final may actually be the thing to draw me in to see a Fire game in person again. But probably not.

maybe a surprise win vs NYRB at home, but RSL, away, with a makeshift squad so we can rest players for the OC? Loss. OC away against an MLS team that finally cares? Loss Home against an expansion team that we should be competitive against after all meaning to the season has been lost 4 days prior? Loss Assuming our road woes continue, does losing 6 straight get Pawno fired?
No, since Paunovic said the Fire "try" to win every game. That is enough. Rodriguez would not want to go threw the separation surgery.
Purposely throw away the RSL game and they should be able to manage those 3 games. Of course Fire "managing" doesn't actually mean doing well.
