The Chicago Fire are in a rut right now. Five straight losses - with two of them coming from a floundering Toronto FC team - and now at a 3.8% chance of making the playoffs, the team has seen better days. But hey, at least there is still the possibility of winning the US Open Cup right? Right?
But around the same time last year, the Fire were on top of the world. Undefeated at home and at the top of the table. Chicago had a men’s soccer team to be proud of, and what better way to showcase the city’s passion for the sport than 22nd installment of the MLS All-Stars held in Soldier Field.
