Fire lost 3-1 to Real Salt Lake Saturday and then entire Fire fandom could and should pay absolutely no attention to the result of this utterly meaningless contest. We got New England Tuesday. It’s time to bite all the finger nails.
There are two reasons for this delayed recap. The first, and less important reason, is that I lived in my car Sunday, going from Chicago to Schaumburg to Morrison to Davenport, Iowa then to Palatine and back to Schaumburg all in one day.
The second more compelling reason for the delayed recap is Saturday’s game simply did not matter and a delayed recap is a reminder we all should not be worried about Saturday in the least and just get to the part where we suffer uncontrollable anxiety until Tuesday’s kickoff in New England.
