It’s not enough to say the Chicago Fire are good at home. “Good at home” sounds like the Men in Red are ideal roommates, neat and thoughtful - which they were tonight, doubtless - down to do some dishes, an easy couch-mate for bingeing Game of Thrones, what have you.
What “good at home” doesn’t suggest is that what it’s like to visit Toyota Park against these Fire, to come in full of energy and with a solid plan, to have spent days telling yourself “these guys are beatable!” and watching film that proves it - only to have your elaborate plans anticipated and dismantled before they even begin, and then have your frustration and building rage used against you.
