Chicago Fire vs. Toronto FC - MLS #25 - 6:00 PM CST - CSN - Gamethread

Tonight's game represents the beginning of the final ten MLS Regular Season games for the Chicago Fire. The opponents in this stretch range from the bottom to the top so it will be a good test and preview for a what looks to be a core coming together. Cory Gibbs is off Friday's MLS Injury Report so Klopas has to decide between starting Jalil Anibaba and Yamith Cuesta again or benching one of them in favor of Gibbs. With the U.S. Open Cup a week and a half away, I'm guessing he'll go with the Gibbs/Cuesta tandem. It's easy to forget that under Frank Klopas, the Fire only gave up 6 goals in 9 games when Gibbs and Cuesta were starting together at center back.
More on TFC and yours and ours in game comments after the break.
In Toronto FC, Chicago is getting an opponent that is feeling more confident than their league worst -21 goal differential would suggest. Toronto FC is in the CONCACAF Champions League as the Canadian Champion and they have been rocking the last couple of weeks. They defeated Real Esteli F.C. twice and Tauro F.C. once, each game having a score of 2-1. They also tied the Portland Timbers 2-2, tied D.C. United 3-3, and upset Real Salt Lake 1-0 in their most recent MLS action to give them a 4-0-2 record across all competitions. Summer signing and designated player Danny Koevermans has 3 goals in 5 games and fellow summer signing and designated player Torsten Frings has been playing every game since his signing in the midfield. Joao Plata, the Ecuadorian who had a goal and an assist when Chicago played Toronto earlier in the season, remains a threat and actually broke his scoring drought dating back to the Chicago game with a goal against Real Salt Lake.
Toronto might be feeling pretty confident but still have a lot of parts in the air. They are also coming off a Thursday game in Panama City and haven't won a game on the road in MLS Regular Season play in 13 attempts. Chicago is a correct offsides call away from winning their own past Thursday game. I'm going bold in the prediction: Chicago Fire 2 - Toronto FC 0.

It's better than looking like 60 with a see through shirt though

Hey Hey...
we got 3 points! I wonder how Merwin will write his recap now. He’s probably not used to this 3 points thing. Well done tonight Fire!

I’m not saying this to be a downer, far from it. But we’re not much different then when we drew to DC on Thursday. And we played the same pretty much too. Stop beating up on this team when the resaults don’t fall our way.

I could agree with that...
however when we continue to outplay other teams yet still lose/draw, it does show a problem. I don’t beat up on them if they lose. Even the best teams lose. But when we dominate play, and con’t convert chances we should, then blame should be spread.

and that's the frustrating thing...
every game, we get chances. Again, the best teams will fail to convert from time to time. But, when it becomes a recurring theme as it has this year, it can get frustrating. This should be something that gets addressed in the offseason. We have the talent. We are better than our record shows.

I will forever be behind them...
as we all are on this site. It’s just hard to go through a season like this. Being a Cubs fan, I expect it. But the Fire are used to better than this. But it’s just a hiccup in the road.

you know...
I think that’s it. Since the Fire’s inception, they have succeeded. So, the past 2 seasons I think have been harder than if we had our ups and downs in the past. I give this years team tons of credit. They still fight and claw every game, no matter the record. And that says something about Tradition, Honor, Passion.

That’s it exactly. This team Has the passion and honor and Ignoring the results, lives up to tradition. They play 90 minutes and even when they embarrass themselves, like the Geld-Wen opener, they still played until the final whistle.

completely agree...
but if they are still falling short, I don’t think it’s a bad thing to ask questions or be unhappy at times. I will always applaud their effort no matter what, but if they aren’t getting it done they shouldn’t be immune to criticism either.

It’s not the criticism i don’t like. It’s the Torches and Pitchforks that bother me.

I can see that...
and I would be the first to admit that I can overreact at times. I still stand by my viewpoints, and I still question the commitment of the owner. Hopefully I am proven wrong by Andrew. Time shall tell I guess.

I half want Arsene Wanger to sign him to replace that shit keeper Arsenal currently have… but I want him here for ever and ever.
http://twitter.com/rtisch312 Inaine thoughts and ramblings about sports and life.
I want him here too...
especially since I think he has the chance to be the next great US keeper. Yes I know it’s a bit premature to say that, but I think he has the ability. And you are right. Szczezny (or however the hell you spell it) sucks.

SJ 25 would be two in a row for the Fire. Brad Guzan was Fire Premier.

Yeah, that would be quite a tradition we are starting, that's for sure

Continuing tradition. 2 of the last several MNT captains Carlos Bocanegra and Chris Armas, plus some of the most important players DeMarcus and Josh Wolff. Plus Jay DeMerit and Michael Bradley. And i’m sure their’s more.

Oh yes...
tradition in terms of GK’s is getting going now. We have had plenty of USMNT players, and hopefully many more to come. We have lots and lots of young players up and coming which excites me.
