If this were April or May or June, I would say that the Chicago Fire gutted out a scoreless draw on the road in a notoriously difficult place to play. I’d say that it was a choppy affair, but a hard-fought game that could have gone either way. I’d praise the toughness of this team and their ability to see it out and get a point on the road.
Except this is the last day of August. Opportunities for points are growing shorter and shorter, and a point on the road in a winnable game just isn’t good enough.
