Hey, Fire and MLS fans! Welcome back as we Feed the Fire talking about the player ratings and the Fotmob/Sofascore effect on the sport. Our host rants about how it's hurting the game - just like fantasy football did to the NFL - but he also takes a deep dive into how it can be useful for certain evaluations, comparisons, and conversations.

Nick also recaps the Chicago Fire's win vs. a reeling Toronto FC squad. Your Men in Red did just enough to take three points - and it took them 90 minutes and a shocking Przybylko header to do it - from the Reds north of the border. Tune in for a stats recap and commentary by our special guest, John Donovan.

After the break, Nick admits the Fire have turned a corner, but doubles down on the fact the team still isn't that good. Favorable matchups are helping them more than they're helping themselves, and the franchise still sits in 8th place (of 15 teams).

Finally, Leagues Cup is upon us! Get your primer on the newest tournament and find out exactly why it's so important for teams to take the event seriously. This ain't the opening rounds of the US Open Cup.
