CHGO Fire Podcast: Chicago Fire Defense COLLAPSING Despite Hugo Cuypers’ Goal Scoring

The Chicago Fire defense is suddenly falling apart at the worst possible time, allowing three goals in three of their last four MLS matches and slipping down the Eastern Conference standings. Despite Hugo Cuypers continuing his incredible goal-scoring form, Gregg Berhalter’s squad has struggled to stop opponents like FC Cincinnati, Evander, and a young New York Red Bulls team that looked far more composed at Soldier Field. Just weeks after looking like one of the league’s toughest defensive units, the Fire now head toward the World Cup break searching for answers. On the CHGO Fire Podcast, host Alex Campbell breaks down what’s gone wrong defensively, what adjustments need to happen fast, and whether Chicago can turn things around in their final three matches before the break.
