When You’re In A Hole: New York Red Bulls 3, Chicago Fire 1, MLS Game Recap

“When you’re in a hole, stop digging.”

That’s the old saying, right? If you’re in the middle of a bad situation, your first job is to not make things worse.

But that’s not how the Chicago Fire Soccer Club does business.

I have to give the Fire credit for not exactly following the script. They started to fall apart much earlier in the game.

After spending the opening five or so minutes laying siege to Luis Robles’ goal— coming close to opening the scoring at least twice— the Men In Red proceeded to concede in one of the stupidest plays of the season.
