If you go up to any set of Chicago Fire fans and ask them what their expectations for the team are, you might not get the same answer twice. For some fans nothing less than an MLS Cup + US Open Cup double every year will do. For others, qualifying for the playoffs is fine. Still others just want a team they can be proud of. And some won’t be happy until Andrew Hauptman sells the team, regardless of what happens on the pitch.
Whatever our expectations are, we’ve all been brought together by one thing: disappointment.
