Coming into the match on Saturday, the Chicago Fire were treading water. They had drawn their last two games,and needed at least another one to keep treading water into the Gold Cup break.

Here’s what we learned from ATL 2-0 Fire.
This weekend was the reckoning. It would be when we found out whether or not they could hang with the big boys in the Eastern Conference.
