Center Line's Nerdy Gales exchanges three questions with Jeff Englehardt from our SB Nation colleagues at Hot Time in Old Town ahead of tonight's Earthquakes versus Fire game - a disaster match-up?.
First up - Jeff answer's Nerdy's questions.
The Fire are five points adrift in the Eastern Conference before the All Star break - what are the key reasons that they are languishing in the doldrums, and how can they rescue the 2016 season?
Well, it certainly has been another frustrating season for the Fire, but this one was a bit more expected.
