It was expected from all but the most delusional of fans that the Chicago Fire come out of their match against the Philidelphia Union with a loss. The Union have not lost at home all season, and despite going into Cincinnati and laying an egg last week, they’re still the best team in the league. So the result, a 4-1 defeat, isn’t exactly surprising. What is surprising, though, is how things went from bad to worse and weren’t that bad simultaneously. The Fire goal was well played and accentuated everything going right with the team at the moment. And everything else was the argument for why they won’t make the playoffs.
Will They Won’t They: Philadelphia Union 4, Chicago Fire 1
