This is Championship Soccer tonight. This is why teams are put together. This U.S. Open Cup tournament is what the Chicago Fire are about. Over 6 months have passed since Chicago started the journey and either way it will end tonight on CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Chicago must vanquish a foe they have never done so in 6 attempts to get their hands on the trophy. Dominic Oduro is the likely hero but Marco Pappa comes off being named MLS Player of the Week for scoring a hat trick after not scoring for two months. The Fire enter the game as an underdog but full of confidence. There's nothing more to say in preview, all there is to do is react. Here's your Starting XI:

Sean Johnson; Dan Gargan, Josip Mikulic, Cory Gibbs, Gonzalo Segares; Logan Pause, Pavel Pardo, Marco Pappa; Daniel Paladini; Dominic Oduro, Patrick Nyarko
