A Phase, A Mood, Like Spring: New England Revolution vs Chicago Fire, MLS Week 30 Preview

The Fire beat Orlando City last week. It was their first win in MLS since June. And because we’re all Fire fans, we couldn’t just be happy about it.

The Revs aren’t exactly good this year, but they’re better than us right now. And they’ve got a bit of momentum from positive results in their last three games. I don’t want to say this is a test for the Fire, since there are no real stakes involved here except pride…
