Edison Flores’s first MLS goal leads D.C. United to 1-0 win over Chicago Fire Share this story Caitlin Buckley / Black and Red United D.C. United made their return to Audi Field count, defeating the Chicago Fire 1-0. Edison Flores scored the game’s only goal with a 7th minute header, his first since joining last year in a club-record deal for United. Hernán Losada had changes in mind after three straight road defeats. Jon Kempin started in goal over Chris Seitz, while Brendan Hines-Ike returned from injury at center back. Drew Skundrich, one day after signing an MLS deal with the club, m...

Courtesy of the Fire Predictably, the results are looking familiar. A 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at Soldier Field extended the Fire’s season-opening winless streak to four. Dating to last season, the Fire haven’t won in 10 matches. They’ve been outscored 9-1 since taking a 2-0 lead in their season-opening match against New England, and they followed up a dreary 2-0 loss last Saturday to the Red Bulls with another performance that fell apart in the second half.

Filed under: Matchday Cork Board: the New York Red Bulls get to see what a model club looks like Downtrodden Red Bulls fans are surely envious of their Windy City counterparts Share this story Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports I hope Dietrich Mateschitz is watching this afternoon, and maybe even having one of his menacing henchmen take notes.

According to the last full audit of ...

When I set the league up, I arbitrarily set the team number at 100, thinking it was the upward limit. What I didn’t realize until Saturday is that the league, with 76 teams at the time, did not start because it didn’t meet the set team number. So I set the team number to 76 and then set it to start in round 2, so everyone basically gets a round 1 bye. All of the other settings, including the playoffs, will happe...

Fire Draw With Revs In Opener That Burned Out Fast The Fire’s attack dazzled by building a 2-0 lead in less than 1 1 minutes before that lead evaporated just as quickly to see them draw 2-2 with New England at Soldier Field Share this story Chicago Fire FC It’s a cliché to say a given soccer match is ‘a game of two halves.’ Saturday night’s season opener at Soldier Field between Chicago Fire FC and the New England Revolution was more ‘a game of the first two sixths’ as the opening 30 minutes contained all four goals and showcased Chicago’s strengths and weaknesses.
