You’d think that after ten years We’d be used to games like this. This game had everything we’ve come to expect from our club: A good start with wasted opportunities in front of goal? Yes. Big saves, both for and against? Oh Yes. Poor turnovers in awkward places? Yep. Goals that couldn’t be explained? Yep? For bonus points, they also got on the wrong side of VAR and then gave up a goal immediately afterward.
But the fact is that every time it happens, we get sadder and angrier and more fed up with this club. The 2022 Chicago Fire, with all due respect to the San Jose Earthquakes, should have walked out of PayPal park with an easy three points.
