sky just played his post match presser. " there's no 'I' in team". with insight like that he'll be there 5 years.

god, some of this MLS SB Nation bloggers. from my team's own Mane Land site:
Dike also needs to dust off the rust and get a goal. We talk about how strikers are judged on scoring goals, but it’s been too long since the big guy did so in purple.
that would be because he's played in 4 matches all year, only 3 of which he played more than 45 minutes, only 2 in which he started, and he scored two goals in the first match he started.
he's played a whopping 45 minutes in the last 2 months due to injuries and the Gold Cup.

I'd take that over the Fire SB Nation guy, who is an extension of the team's PR department and only puts out stories they feed him.

nothing will ever convince me that Dike committed a foul and our win became a draw. it's been that kind of year. at least when Tesho's got scrubbed off the board, I understood why (offside).
having a game winner taken away dramatically is just gutting. VAR not my friend rn.

I'm a Nashville fan and that wasn't a foul. Both going for the bad and colliding. Goal should have stood.

Does anyone know whether it’s generally possible to get MLS tickets (Chicago Fire specifically) from a physical box office on match day or do you have to go through Ticketmaster?

Answering my own question, digital only from this year, it seems.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 2 March 2022 21:24 (two years ago) link
Yes they have gone digital only. If you buy in a group you might be able to get physical tickets. The move to Soldier Field has brought many inconveniences to fans and imho this is one of them. (Wait until you see how much it costs to park a car there! Hot tip: take the Red Line to Roosevelt and walk if you can.)

it's $20 to park in the official city lots immediately outside Orlando City Stadium (I will never call it Exploria). is Soldier Field closer to American football prices (i.e. $45)?

also security guards open carrying pistols will come and scream at you to leave the lot about 10 minutes after games end

That was a fun experience. A terrible game, yes, but a fun experience.
Shaqiri is on a completely different level to the rest of the team and was notably frustrated trying to get them on his wavelength. Przybyłko doesn’t look mobile at all but should get good service in the air, though fluffed his chance from an excellent cross today. Not sure what the Orlando goal ended up being ruled out for.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 6 March 2022 02:02 (two years ago) link
There was a handball in the play leading up to the goal, apparently.
Agreed about Shaqiri. This is the kind of thing I have gotten used to with the Fire over the time I have been following them, with some exceptions. I do feel heartened by the new owner's willingness to spend, but with a new coach and a mostly new squad it's rebuilding time again.
ShariVari, are you a Chicagoan? I go to matches infrequently these days but would happily crack open a beer at the tailgate if we happen to be there at the same time.

Ola Kamara scoring, taking off his jersey knowing it's an automatic yellow and there are still 70 minutes left to play, then scoring again, then making a WWE-style challenge late in stoppage time in the first half, ending his night....
then DC somehow managing to still hold the 2-0 lead until the 80th minute, and conceding thrice and losing at home
really feels like peak MLS

He was really good his first few years. Hustler, goal poacher, and assist man. He was in distant MVP talks in 2020.
He was outright trash last year, mostly because he gave up and had mentally left already.
