The Chicago Fire are going for a second straight win on the road tonight, when they take on Sporting Kansas City at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, KS (7:30 p.m. CT, WGN-TV, CFFC Live).
The Fire’s new, high-profile signing, defensive midfielder Federico Navarro, will be there. The Argentine signed a deal under Major League Soccer’s new U-22 Initiative, which is meant to lure young stars to the league. Considering Navarro hasn’t played a match in a quite a long time, it’s unlikely he’ll start, but Fire coach Raphael Wicky has said he’ll almost surely be on the roster for tonight’s match.
