The Chicago Fire’s season ended on Saturday night at the hands of the New England Revolution. Mathematically speaking, a playoff spot is still within reach. But as Bridget wrote post-game, we can begin to focus on the off-season for all intents and purposes.
The Men in Red’s playoff chances sit at 14% after Saturday night according to American Soccer Analysis. Given what we know about this team, we feel secure in the knowledge that no miracle comeback is forthcoming.
Sure, it’s easy to make a broad strokes statement that the Fire have under performed given the star power and experience they can boast on the team sheet.
