Mother— With bated breathe, our troops arrived at the gates of destiny. The Dairy Platoon was stifled as our unit was armed with lactase pills. As the last of the candlelight flickered, Lt. Moore recovered the aerial ballistic. The Frenchman, LaFleur, bent his knee. Yours. —CW

Caleb Williams ties HOF Peyton Manning for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in a season by a player under the age of 25 in NFL history (6) 🔥 Chicago Bears | #DaBears

Green Bay fans getting dunked on lmfao

Crazy how before last season started we were worried about this being a significant weakness for the Fire. The right moves by our competent front office have put us in a position to have conversations like this!

Brady is a cornball for this and it shouldn’t be surprising that he’s also from Naperville.

We’ll be back. 🐻⬇️ Chicago Bears #bears #beardown #chicago

First two goal scorers of the season are Zinck and Saletros (free kick) !

Mueller being back is huge for the depth of this squad!! Pumped to see him back in action!

This Luther Burden edit just fed my whole family for a week.

I will not be calling games for MLS this szn. A pretty darn good 6-year run that started when I was 26 in Chicago, comes to an end. Some really exciting and new opportunities right around the corner. Best of luck to all my former colleagues on the call and in the truck

If you plan on going to the Chicago Fire FC jersey exchange, save yourself some time. Waited an hour in line just for them to tell us that only 30 people get to exchange their jerseys. Chicago Fire FC yall are a joke ! #cf97

South African fans, maybe you were right about Mbokazi defending alone. What a player #cf97 #chicagofire

Saletros looked really good. He’s gonna be a great fill in for Franco. A fully healthy squad will be scary. Mbokazi looked great out there as well, excited to see him in a full back 4 with Elliott and Gutman healthy (maybe Dean too?)

Tough break last night but we move. Assuming Bamba, Elliott and Gutman are healthy next weekend, I think we get all 3 and finally get a glimpse at how good this team can be.

It’s home opener time, Fire fans!! Drop your predictions for today’s game. 📝My prediction: Chicago Fire 3 - 1 CF Montreal. ⚽️Goalscorers: Zinckernagel, Cyupers (2x) #mls #cf97 #chicagofire #cfmontreal #chicago

I trust Dean to hold it down on the left. Great stating XI!

Mbokazi warming up for his Chicago Fire home debut!! #cf97 #chicagofire

Great win despite playing a man down a half hour. Hopefully we get to see Gutman next week! My standouts were Zinck and Mbokazi.

This team looks much better with a back 4. Lots of space to operate and distribute and we still haven’t seen Gutman on the left yet. Mbokazi seemed very comfortable yesterday playing alongside Elliott. If I were Gregg, I’d opt for a back 4 from here on out w/ 2 solid CBs here now
