Mystery Box: Chicago Fire vs Sporting Kansas City, MLS Week 2 game preview

Our Chicago Fire belatedly begin their MLS schedule Saturday against Sporting Kansas City, and the truth is we have very little idea how this is going to go. Not only is this the first match of the regular season after an offseason of questionable quality, but it also comes after a preseason marked mostly by its weird embrace of high levels of unreality. The first XI have played multiple friendlies without leaving any fingerprints on the digital world, in 2018, somehow. Add in a local TV deal that appears to be a state secret, inscrutable injury descriptions and a general dearth of information about the team .
