CHGO Chicago Fire Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

After weeks of smoke and rumors, it's official: Former United States Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter is the Fire’s new Director of Football and head coach. Is hiring someone for both jobs a smart idea? What does this mean for the Fire? What happens next? Alex is joined by Alex Calabrese of Men in Red 97 Media for this Emergency Podcast to break down the big news.

With two losses in their last three matches, the Chicago Fire have all but sealed a seventh consecutive season missing the playoffs despite MLS having a hilarious number of teams make the cut every year. Alex assesses the latest damage, what’s gone so wrong this time, and muses about a potential new era ahead. Then, Joe Lowery of Backheeled and the Total Soccer Show joins to discuss the Fire potentially hiring Gregg Berhalter and notable season storylines from around Major League Soccer.

Two more weeks gone, two more weeks without a win, three games lost and only two goals scored. The Chicago Fire continue to tailspin without a win in their last seven games now off to the worst start in team history. Alex is joined by Alex Calabrese to discuss yet another forgettable fortnight of Fire soccer. They then check in on the Fire’s second team and academy in search of reasons for optimism.

After the Chicago Fire looked to have hit rock bottom two weeks ago with a 4-0 home loss to Real Sal Lake, things have somehow gotten worse. Two more home games without a goal, a loss to the Eastern Conference’s worst team, and only a solitary point from the homestand have dug the Fire further and further deeper in. Alex flies solo on this one and takes questions from the CHGO Diehard Lounge and social media as everyone tries to comprehend yet another nadir.

There is bad, and then there’s whatever the Fire were on Saturday night against Real Salt Lake. Following a home win vs Houston and drab away draw in New Jersey, did the Fire hit a new low this weekend at Soldier Field? Alex is joined by Matt Shabelman of Men In Red 97 to pick through the wreckage of that performance and evaluate the reactions it produced.

A rain-soaked draw in New England and a hammering in Atlanta see the Fire return home looking extinguished. What went wrong on the road trip? What’s (still) not working? Who’s to blame? Should Frank Klopas’ seat be starting to get warm? How important is the Fire’s upcoming run of games with a lot at home? Meanwhile, the US Open Cup returns this week as Fire II (or maybe more accurately Fire 1.5) face Forward Madison. Alex is joined by CHGO Fire regular Joe Chatz to talk through it all.

The Chicago Fire just won one of the weirdest games ever… but first! Alex is joined by Chicago Fire II Head Coach Ludovic Taillandier ahead of Wednesday’s start to the US Open Cup, in which CF2 will take on Chicago USL League 2 side Chicago City SC. We discuss the opportunity this presents the team and in particular it’s young players, and what success looks like in this odd year for America’s oldest soccer competition. Then, Alex is joined by Guillermo Rivera to get into the last 2 games: a brief rundown of a classic Fire heartbreak in Columbus, then all the wild windy twists and turns of Saturday’s 4-3 chaos against Montreal at Soldier Field.

The Chicago Fire returned home to Soldier Field this weekend back in red! Alex and guest co-host Nick Poteres of Glass House Soccer speak with Chicago Fire Vice President of Matchday Operations and Guest Experience Joey Colby-Begovich about his vision for Fire home games and some of the new things we saw on Saturday. As for something that wasn’t new, the Fire lost 2-1 to FC Cincinnati as a result of self-inflected mistakes while struggling to create chances. What went wrong? What might the solutions be? How does the difficult early schedule impact trying to make improvements?
