In the grand scheme of things, the game between the Chicago Fire and Charleston Battery was extremely meaningless. Playing in these tournaments is really just an organized way of getting guaranteed minutes. The results don’t matter. And the last game before the regular season especially doesn’t matter. You’re just trying to get out healthy and unscathed before the job really starts.
It doesn’t really matter that the only way to describe the first half Fire performance was disinterested. They played slow and sloppy. It seemed like every second or third pass was deflected, intercepted, or just plain missed its target.
