Hey, soccer fans! The Fire once again lack offense, defense, or any idea what they're doing on the pitch - and it results in a 3-1 loss at the hands of new MLS rival St. Louis CITY SC. Hugo Cuypers does get a goal, but very little else happens in favor of the Men in Red. Tune in as Nick looks at the goals, stats, and gives his instant reaction to head coach Frank Klopas' post game press conference.
Nick also takes the tie to look at the Chicago Fire's next two opponents - Charlotte FC and the Columbus Crew. Things certainly don't get easier for the Fire, and they're going to need the shortest of memories to prepare for a double match week.
Nick also updates everyone on the latest MLS news, including Omari Glasgow's short term loans, Cavan Sullivan's record signing, and Jesse Marsch's return to coaching...in Canada!

Hey, soccer fans. Remember all that positivity from last week? Well, it's nearly gone. The Chicago Fire lose 1-0 to the worst team in Major League Soccer, the New England Revolution. There's really nothing new to say about the miserable performance of the team: No offense, no goals, defensive lapses, poor individual play, non-existent tactics and coaching...
In the second half of the show, we preview the Fire's next loss ... er, match against St. Louis City SC. The Western Conference rival is sitting in 9th place and must be looking at this weekend's matchup as an easy three points. Will the Men in Red be able to take advantage of St. Louis' poor goalkeeping and finally get back on the scoreboard?
The show ends with a look at Messi's historic match vs. New York Red Bulls and the Columbus Crew's historic run in Concacaf Champions Cup.

For the Chicago Fire, this means another home game. They welcome Eastern Conference opponent the New England Revolution - the worst team in MLS at the moment. A victory for the Fire would be huge for their morale and for the fans, and it is within reach if they keep up their up-tempo, attacking style.
We conclude the show by looking at the expansion news from Indianapolis and discussing whether the MLS wants to kill USL or just made a dumb move in trying to bring a new team into an already existing - and wildly popular - USL city.

Hey, soccer fans! Welcome back to Feed the Fire! In this episode, we take a look back at the misery of the Men in Red’s latest loss - a 4-0 embarrassment to Real Salt Lake. The Fire looked dysfunctional while MLS MVP candidate Chicago Arrango had a night to remember with 2 goals and 2 assists. Injuries pile up for the Fire, goals pile up against them, and the coaching staff has lost the locker room and respect of the players.
In the second half of the show, Nick previews the Fire’s next opponent: Atlanta United. The Five Stripes will be looking to bounce back from a rare home loss to FC Cincinnati. They bring a strong attack, and this game could go the way of the RSL match if the Fire aren’t careful.
What’s your prediction? Let us know in the comments below!

In the second half of the show, Nick examines the Fire's next opponent: Real Salt Lake. The Western Conference foe is having a solid start to the season behind Diego Luna and Chicho Arrango. The Men in Red will have their hands full with the higher line and counterattacking of the Claret Reds. But the Fire have faired well in cross-conference match ups. What do you think the result will be?
Nick also gets caught up on the proposed roster rule changes that may come to MLS this summer - flexibility on Designated Players and U22 Initiative Players, a second buyout option, and increased General Allocation Money (GAM) from transfers. How could the Fire use these new mechanisms to improve this summer? Keep watching to find out!

Hey, soccer fans! Are things heating up in Chicago? The weather is improving and so is the play from the Men in Red. This weekend we saw Xerdan Shaqiri and Brian Gutierrez score to give the home team a much needed three points. Head coach Frank Klopas tweaked the lineup, and it seemed to work against a Houston Dynamo team playing on the road, in a 4-3-3 formation, without start midfielder Hector Herrera. Tune in as we break down the goals, the stats, and whether the Fire can keep the good times rolling.
Next week, they face the best team in MLS so far: the New York Red Bulls. The Red Bulls are in fine form this season, and they boast an attacking duo that lead the league in goals (Lewis Morgan) and assists (Dante Vanzier). How will the Fire approach this difficult road test? Stay tuned to hear how Nick thinks the Fire can snatch a result on the road.
We also review the latest transfer news from around the league and recap the Concacaf Champions Cup.
