The Fire have been remarkably consistent over the last month. Ever since their loss to FC Cincinnati, the (forever) Men in Red have been competitive in every game, bar the loss in Tennessee. They’ve remained competitive and have won games over the likes of Orlando City, and the Columbus Crew, who despite being in freefall, still have a talented roster and were in the playoffs until that loss to the Fire.
It’s good to see this level of positivity from a squad that so recently hit rock bottom. Raphael Wicky has instituted a new system remarkably fast that’s given his team at least a chance at winning games week in and week out while dealing with a family crisis.
