Shifting Fortunes: DC United vs Chicago Fire, MLS Week 32 Preview

I think we’ve all gotten accustomed to DCU being Bad At Soccer.

Even in our Wooden Spoon years, Fire fans were able to look ahead to this fixture and feel like we had a decent shot at a win. That no matter how bad things were in Bridgeview, we could gaze in the general direction of RFK Stadium and feel marginally better about our lot.

Things are much different now.

DCU are in the midst of a renaissance. A shiny new stadium. A detente between the front office and various supporter groups. Wayne Rooney, but like, good Wayne Rooney.
