Fire Set A League Record In Columbus Win

In the midst of a turbulent start to the season, the Chicago Fire has done something positive – well depending on how you would look at it.

After the nerve-racking 1-0 win against the Columbus Crew Saturday night the Chicago Fire has set a new MLS record. The Men in Red have now scored in 34 consecutive home games – the longest streak in the MLS since 2010.

The last time the Fire had failed to score was against That Yellow Team during the 2015 season in matchday 3 where they drew 0-0. Since then the lads have at least scored once in all home games since. Now, what does this mean in the end?

Absolutely nothing at all if the results prove otherwise. It’s great that the Fire is scoring in every home game, but do they all lead to wins

If we want to talk arbitrary records the Fire has quite a few. They sit alongside the Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes setting the record of most consecutive ties at six. The Fire is also ranked eight out of 10 alongside That Yellow Team for most goals scored during a season. The club scored 67 goals during the 2000 season.

But there is something more to the number 34 than just this record. Hear me out.
