Welcome to Fire20, our weekly series celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club by making deep dives into the team’s history. This week we look back at Eric Wynalda’s time in Fire Red.
The subject of today’s Fire20 is a person than many of, if not all of you, may know. Perhaps it wasn’t for his time in a Chicago Fire kit, but for the countless hours that he has spent giving surface-level, poorly thought-out takes about the game of soccer. This person, of course, is Eric Wynalda.
The one-time American international was a bit of a journeyman during his professional career.
