Hey, soccer fans! Did you enjoy the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and Game? My family and I sure did! Even moreso, we enjoyed the Fire's 2 game point streak and seeing Philip Zinckernagel continue his fine form against the Liga MX All-Stars.

In this episode, Nick first explores Chris Mueller's announcment of his diagnosis of pericarditis. He then recaps the Chicago Fire's victory vs. CF Montreal, previews their game against New York Red Bull, and breaks down the Eastern Conference standings. The Men in Red are poised to make a push for the playoffs after defeating the bottom of the conference, but can they take enough points from better teams to find the post-season?

Also, Nick looks at the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and Game, what he'd improve about them, and how great it was to have Philip Zinckernagel representing Chicago in Austin. The show wraps with Nick's scouting report of reported Fire transfer target, Patrick Berg of Norway. While he'd be a great addition to the midfield, he is not worth the $12 million dollar asking price or a Designated Player spot. Can the Fire get a reasonable deal done for one of the top talents in the Eliteserien?

Hey, soccer fans! Nick is back, pulled muscle and all, talking about Chicago Fire FC's latest result: a 2-1 loss at home to expansion side San Diego FC.
