CHGO Chicago Stars Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter The good news is that the 2025 Chicago Stars season has finally come to an end. With just 3 wins in 26 games, it’s the worst year the club has had in it’s 17 years of professional existence. The team had more coaches than it had wins, which underscores the disfunction that plagued the year from start to finish. Are there any positives to take? What of this is fixable in the short term and what will take time? We recap the last few games of the season, including a farewell victory at SeatGeek Stadium, continue are player evaluations from last episode with the midfielders and forwards, and stare into unknown of an offseason that could be just as challenging as the 26 soccer games that preceded it.

📬 Chicago sports in your inbox: https://allchgo.com/newsletter Well, this mostly mess of a season is almost over for the Chicago Stars. They did show well in their debut at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium in Evanston (their temporary, probably, home next season) as they smashed a reeling Orlando Pride team 5-2 with goals from five different players. But since? No more wins and and stuck at the bottom of the NWSL standings. The team though feels already on to next year with interim coach Andres Jacobsen (the 4th different person in charge this year) now settled in. What have we learned from this recent series of games? Is there anything to be learned over the next three? Alex is joined by CHGO Stars emeritus host from CBS Sports and The Attacking Third podcast Sandra Herrera for her perspective Also, we begin looking back on the season starting with the goalkeepers and defenders.
