Hint. We never win in Chicago

 

You shut your malört-spewing mouth, mister! All things are possible with The Cucho.

 

Last season the Chicago Fire extended its all-time home record to 17-6-13 against the Crew since 1998.

Chicago is unbeaten in its last eight home games against Columbus (3-0-5) since March 19, 2016.

We need to snap this streak

 

So you're saying we're due for a win.

 

MLS standings after Monday are looking good for us after those results. A win @ Chicago and we could be on our way to getting hot at the right time!

We need a Massive road win. The month of July is pivotal and we have a favorable schedule, so we need to capitalize and make up for a horrible start to this season

 

Yeah, if we win our game in hand, we'd be tied for 5th in points though losing the tiebreaker for wins.

 

7 goals out of 8 home games (3 in one game). Won the last two 1-0 to boost their (terrible) home record. This is going to be 0-0

 

I mean if all the other teams draw or lose we could be 5th but that is unlikely

There are currently 3 teams tied for 5th place on 25 points. They all have 3 points more than us, have played 1 more game and 2 have 2 more wins. So if we win the game in hand, we'll be even on points with them but losing the tiebreaker for wins to FCC and Orlando and even on wins with New England.

 

Ezra will always be #2



Shame on this forum for not making the obligatory joke in the first 10 posts of this thread.

 

0-0 draw?

 

Let the good times roll.

 

I prefer love all

 

RIP, Norm.

[Due to a lack of full training sessions, though, Hernandez is likely to come off the bench, according to head coach Caleb Porter, but certainly will play a part in Saturday's match in Chicago (8 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+).

"Is that 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes we'll have to wait and see," Porter told reporters Tuesday.]

Super giddy. AKA Herogasm.

 

Shhhhhhhhh. This info needs to be kept quiet for Grouchy point ramifications.

 

Multiple people at the office have asked me this week about Cucho. WNCI was talking about him this morning on my drive into the office. There is buzz about the signing.

 

I dislike how the Grouchy Point is setup this week. My guess is that Cucho comes in at 75 and promptly scores the fastest hat-trick in MLS history by a newly signed player. However, no multi-GP are awarded because of another awesome own goal by Czichos in the first half with the Crew winning 4-0.

 

Tired: CUCHO WATCH
Wired: WATCH CUCHO

Porter says Cucho will max play 20-30 mins #Crew96
