Actually, it’s been a rough season.
I’m going to stop there, but you catch my drift. It’s a bit cliche to say that fans have had precious little to cheer for, but it’s true. Poor results. Weak play. Off-pitch drama. Wailing. Gnashing of teeth. None of which in isolation are strangers to Fire fans, but they’re all combining in a particularly noxious brew this year.
Mathematically the Fire are still in the playoff race; realistically, a lot will need to change for Chicago to have a shot at playing soccer in November.
