Drink the Second Glass of Wine: Montreal Impact 1, Chicago Fire 0, MLS Game Recap

Much like a Passover seder run by my dad, Everything about this felt wrong. The 11:30 AM start time was wrong. The lineup felt wrong, The quality of the pitch felt wrong.

The Fire needed at least a point from the this game. Next week, they go to the Banc of America stadium to face the hottest team in MLS, Bob Bradley’s LAFC. There’s virtually no chance of getting points in SoCal. They needed to take advantage of a tired Montreal Impact, despite being tired themselves.

So, hrm. No Marcelo, no Jeremiah Gutjahr.
