If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.
-Orson Welles
The entire theme of this 2018 season seems to be fans, caring a lot about the Chicago Fire Soccer Club, coming to the realization that the feeling isn’t exactly mutual.
Perhaps no other game exemplified this than tonight’s clash with the Columbus Crew. It might be the last meeting between these teams. Ever. MLS did fuck all to promote it. The teams, under fire for a variety of malpractice claims, were clearly phoning it in.
