Coasting till the Semis: Chicago Fire vs. Real Salt Lake

With their eyes on Tuesday night's US Open Cup semi's, the Chicago Fire will look to warm up (and stay healthy) against Real Salt Lake

The future of the Chicago Fire’s 2016 season all hinges on a win Tuesday at New England in the semi-finals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Unfortunately, the MLS doesn’t allow teams to abandon the regular season; so the Fire will have to go with the flow tonight as they head west to face Real Salt Lake. The match begins at 9 p.m. central time and airs on CSN Chicago.

Opponent:

Many of the names are the same, but the aging core that led Salt Lake to so much success in the late 2000s-early 2010s have begun to lose life’s eternal battle with Father Time.
