The Chicago Fire wrapped up a perfect preseason with a 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers Saturday, clinching the Simple Invitational in the process.
I can just imagine all the Portland tears falling into Portland beards and Portland beers.
The Chicago Fire defeated the defending MLS Cup champions on their home turf Saturday 2-0 in a game the Timbers controlled during large stretches, making the victory that much sweeter. It was the Fire's first trophy since the 2014 Desert Diamond Cup. Great memories, yeah?
Portland fans probably don't really care that much as trophies like the MLS Cup get them more excited than the Simple Invitational.
