Robert Lewandowski's goalless streak has reached 570 minutes ‒ as far as I can tell, that's a career-high for him since leaving Poland. Fire get 3 points in ATL for the first time, though. Here's what we learned about the Fire last night meninred97.com/what-we-learn… #cf97

Onetime #cf97 Ariel Lassiter levels it for Portland, now 1-1 vs Charlotte in the 11th minute. Keeping them off of 3 points keeps daylight between the Fire and Charlotte in the battle for home advantage in the post season.

After getting subbed off in the 68th minute against Atlanta, Robert Lewandowski has failed to score in 7 consecutive appearances, just one shy of his all-time professional record. #cf97 #VamosFire

And Embolo makes this a game again - 3-2 in Atlanta in the 68th minute. What a header

And Zinck makes it 3-1 off the easiest assist of Salétros's life

Well, was half right.
Gregg needs to make halftime changes if Fire want 3 points from this one. Defense has barely been better than traffic cones and Djé's propensity for letting a yellow snowball make him a liability. I'd swap out Allen and D'Avilla for Gutman and Anzor. #cf97

Nightmare of a start for the Fire. Down 1-0 before 4 minutes were played as Mbo and Allen can't make key plays in defense

How #cf97 line up against Atlanta. Did Gregg rotate against the #14 team in the East? No, he did not. Zinck listed in the midfield; I wouldn't be surprised if Haile-Selassie was actually swapping with him pretty often.

Does the Scottish Championship have higher standards for pitch quality than international matches in CONCACAF? Apparently yes!
Following a pitch inspection by the match referee on arrival, today’s match at Cappielow has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Fixture will be rearranged in due course.

The Chicago Fire have clinched, but face a tough battle for positioning. Here's what's at stake tonight when the Fire take on Atlanta United in Georgia. #cf97 #VamosFire meninred97.com/feeling-the-h…

In media availability Fire head coach Gregg Berhalter says that André Franco could be available "within 10 days." He then cautioned that he's "been wrong with this before" estimating player returns. #cf97 #VamosFire

Since losing Hugo Cuypers, the Fire's DP production has dropped How much? And how has Lewandowski's arrival changed production from the rest of #cf97? I ran the numbers - check it out with our (free) subscriber exclusive story : meninred97.com/swapping-fire…
