8/18 (TODAY): Official D.C. United @ Chicago Fire In-Game Thread

The ChiCitySports.com IGT played really well though, we should become an MLS franchise.

Maybe they can tank it for a top pick.

 

[Jntg4]

We have the #2 pick right now, the Montreal Impact automatically get the #1 pick as they are an expansion team.

 

[Jntg4]

So there is no tanking, we already have it, kinda like the Houston Astros.

I wonder if Section 8 has a blues song for when we lose, I need one right now.

At this point most of us (supporters) aren't thinking about the playoffs--we're focused on the USOC and the Brimstone Cup. if we win either/both more emphasis on the USOC though, we will be ok with the season.

I'm not even sad that we didn't win tonight--It would have been great to win, but we lost offensive momentum the moment Grazzini came off the pitch....and his fitness has really been the main reason he doesn't go the full 90. So as far as I'm concerned, the longer he plays, the more likely we are to gain a win. We look better......with such a young team, it's going to take a few painful years to build the quality that has always been at this club. This year and next will not be for the feint of heart.

Agree 100%.

This is really the first time in Fire history we've really had to go through something quite like this...
