  • Chicago Fire v Toronto FC: No “Days Off” For Inconsistent Reds

    There will be no time for Greg Vanney and Robin Fraser to drive a convertible KIA Sportage through the streets of Chicago this weekend.

    Welcome to the first EVER match review, by me, your trusty… um… whatever role I had on that other site, it’s the same one here.  Everyone else is off drinking.  Someone said they couldn’t do it because it was pre-pre-pre St. Paddy’s day.  Weak? Of course, but what else could I do? Last week, your…
