It’s been a strange month as a Chicago Fire fan.
On the one hand, the overall position the team is in is fitting, both on and off the field. They were finally knocked out of the playoff race when they lost to NYCFC, rendering the forward momentum built up last year moot.
At the same time, on a game by game basis, the Fire have been playing well! They have a record of 2-1-1 in September. A draw on the worst artificial turf in the league vs the Revolution in Foxboro and two wins at home against Orlando City and LAFC.
