The Chicago Fire’s season was effectively ended last night in Philadelphia. In the biggest game of the year, an Open Cup semifinal with a chance to host the final, Chicago crumbled in a way most fans have seen plenty of times before. The Open Cup run that the club had prioritized os now over, and it doesn’t seem like the playoffs are a realistic possibility anymore.
Something must change, and it should start with the club firing head coach Veljko Paunovic.
Obviously there are many other changes that should come at the highest levels of the club.
