Hey, soccer fans! Should the Fire sign Robert Lewandowski? Nick doesn't think it's a good idea for the club despite the great improvement he'd bring to the strikers on this squad. Make sure you tune in to hear his takes on the financial and roster building implications that would affect the Men in Red should they sign the Bayern Munich legend.

Nick also keeps you up to date on the MLS Cup Playoffs and the results from Round One. Matt Miazga may be a crazy person, Atlanta United found their offense, and the Western Conference has the biggest upsets and most entertaining matches so far. What will happen next?

We also explore the signing of Luis Suarez by Inter Miami and the Chicago Fire's transfer of the Homegrown rights of Leonardo Orejarena to FC Dallas, who immediately signed the 15 year old to their second team, North Texas SC. It's a good bit of business - which is rare for the Fire front office.

Hey, soccer fans! The 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs are underway, and there's been no shortage of goals and excitement. The home team won every match but one (SKC/STL UPSET ALERT!), and the teams are ramping up for the 2nd match of their best-of-three series. There'll be plenty of action as the playoffs move forward - who's your pick to win?Even through the Fire haven't done any business this young offseason, there's still plenty to talk about. How would you feel if the league folded the club? Orrin Schwarz of the Daily Herald proposed the idea, but see why Nick thinks it's completely unreasonable and should be unmentionable.

Our host also discussed the objectively poor performances of the Men in Red's Designated Players, and he gives the Pros and Cons to hiring Chris Armas as the next manager - a rumor that is generating some buzz.

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire are on international break, but there's plenty to talk about with Major League Soccer releasing their 22 Under 22 list of the best young players. See where the Fire's young stars Brian Gutierrez and Chris Brady placed, and who could be on the list for the Men In Red's in the future.

Nick also gives his reaction to the fan reactions for the United States Men's National Team friendly vs. Germany - a disappointing 3-1 loss. We must remember that this game was only a friendly, and we must remember that the coaching staff is still developing and evaluating talent and tactics. But there are still further questions to what exactly we should expect from USMNT as it prepares for World Cup Qualifying.

To wrap up the show, Nick reviews the newest MLS Cup Playoff Format, and he talks about some roster moves for the Houston Dynamo and Inter Miami. Tune in for all this and more!

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire played two important matches in the same week with the same starting lineup with the same playoff stakes - and the results couldn't have been more different. Tune in as we celebrate the highs of the victory over Inter Miami and commiserate during the lows of the loss to Charlotte. This two game stretch really showed up what's wrong with the club from top to bottom.

Along the way, Nick also shares stories from coaching his son's U8 team, and his own run-in with Monterrey Security. Did you hear they made another false detention? We also look ahead to the NYCFC match and comment on some Fire specific news: Heitz gets and extension, but Mihailovic may be back in the Windy City.

Hey, soccer fans! So you're saying there's a chance? With the Chicago Fire's victory over the New York Red Bulls this weekend, they move one place closer to an Eastern Conference Wild Card spot. Georgios Koutsias provided the game-winner from a surprisingly well placed free kick from Xerdan Shaqiri. Tune in as our host discusses the game winner, breaks down the stats, and examines what kind of striker Koutsias can develop into. We also analyze the play of Wyatt Omsberg and Carlos Teran - and look into the future as to how they can help the Fire succeed in the years to come.

In the second half, Nick looks ahead to your Men in Red's matchup against the Herons of Inter Miami. Without Messi and Alba, we anticipate this to be an ugly matchup that either team could win. And though the Fire are home favorites, Nick is predicting a draw - and predicting the Fire's playoff hopes stay alive for one more week.

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire embarrassed themselves against the Columbus Crew, but salvaged a point against the New England Revolution to *technically* stay in playoff contention. In this episode, we examine some of the storylines and stats from these two matches.

In the second half of the show, our host reviews the standings and the playoff positions of each team. Your Men in Red are in a unique position with four remaining games against teams that are at or below or at them in the standings. As bad as the Fire have been, they are still in the playoff picture. For RBNY, Miami, Charlotte, and Inter Miami, their playoff hopes may lie with the performances of the Fire down the stretch.

Hey, soccer fans! Once again the Chicago Fire traveled to the Great White North against what looked to be an inferior opponent, and once again they return to the Windy City with a single point. The Men in Red underwhelmed offensively and relied on young-star goalkeeper Chris Brady to preserve the goalless draw. Tune in as Nick looks at the lineup issues and breaks down the match stats.

In the second half of the show, we preview the Fire's next match: a midweek meeting with the Columbus Crew. Nick explains just how potent the Columbus offense can be, but also what the Fire can do to maybe secure a point on the road. He takes a quick look at the betting odds and gives you his not-so-hopeful prediction.

Hey, Fire fans! I hope you enjoyed the international break - and I hope the Chicago Fire took advantage of it, too. Will the time off be enough to snap a 4-game losing streak? Tune in as Nick breaks down the players, formations, and tactics he expects to see when the Men in Red travel to their neighbors to the north. The Fire had a great game against CF Montreal in July, but these are two teams that have trended in different directions since then. Who do you think takes the three points?

In the second half of the show, we look at some news surrounding the Fire's players on international duty. We also talk about Alex Monis of CFII being loaned to Rio Grande Valley FC of the USL Championship. Our host thinks this is a sign that the Fire organization are trying to make the playoffs rather than give some experience to younger players or evaluate their talent pool.

Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire are approaching rock bottom after losing to the Vancouver Whitecaps and DC United in the same week. Tune in as we break down the statistics for each game and discuss the complete failure of the Fire to operate like a professional club. The organization has no leaders-on or off the pitch, there's rumors of in-fighting, and the players forget the basics of the game when the step onto the field.

In the second half of the show, Nick does a film session on the DC United match. He watches the highlights and low-lights and gives his very animated and candid reactions to the Men in Red. The show closes with a recap of the league standings.
