The Chicago Fire’s first big test in a while is upon us.
Sporting Kansas City come in to this game third in the Western Conference and just a point out of second, and are the first real team the Fire have played in 4 games. As a quick reminder, that game was against Orlando City and the Fire imploded under the pressure, including a disastrous fight over who would take a penalty.
The good news is that the Fire have seemed to galvanize themselves since then and have come away from it with renewed confidence and 7 points out of 9.
