CHGO Fire Podcast: Ludo Taillandier + Open Cup, Wild Wind-Aided Win

The Chicago Fire just won one of the weirdest games ever… but first! Alex is joined by Chicago Fire II Head Coach Ludovic Taillandier ahead of Wednesday’s start to the US Open Cup, in which CF2 will take on Chicago USL League 2 side Chicago City SC. We discuss the opportunity this presents the team and in particular it’s young players, and what success looks like in this odd year for America’s oldest soccer competition. Then, Alex is joined by Guillermo Rivera to get into the last 2 games: a brief rundown of a classic Fire heartbreak in Columbus, then all the wild windy twists and turns of Saturday’s 4-3 chaos against Montreal at Soldier Field.
