The Chicago Fire were exceptionally fun to watch on Wednesday. Beyond the usual signs of early preseason rust, the team dominated the first half against a half-academy, half-starter Montreal side.
Montreal brought in more of their first team for the second half, but the Fire still looked decent: not as dominant as the first half, but the Fire still had the general run of play.
The starting lineup looked very similar to the one that started against the Union, with only the outside backs being replaced. Barring any late additions, this list looks like the opening day starting XI.
