It Feels Like We’ve Been Here Before

The more I think about the last few weeks of the 2019 Chicago Fire season, the stranger it seems to get. In the span of 10 days, the Men In Red lost to the best team in the Eastern Conference, lost to a Liga MX team, signed a 34 year old former Liga MX player, and saw the promising debut of a player from the academy system that we hope works out.

Is it 2012 again?

Of course, that year, the club squeezed into the play in round of the MLS playoffs and lost to the Houston Dynamo on Halloween night.
