A second straight road defeat for the Chicago Fire Saturday at Red Bull Arena did little to sway their standing in the latest edition of the MLS Power Rankings.
The Men In Red checked in for the second week in a row at No. 12 in the 22-team review, two spots below their season high-water mark of No. 10. The league's assessment of the road performance was short and sweet:
A road loss at RBA should not cause this team to worry. The Red Bulls rarely lose there and the Fire were the better team according to expected goals.
