The Chicago Fire have finally put an end to a very long drought. The team has made the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2017, and they did it in style, defeating Inter Miami 5–3.

In the center of this turnaround is Gregg Berhalter, less than a year removed from being fired as head coach of USMNT.
