Welp, it’s just a draw but a win next week in New England would mean the Fire at least host the Wild Card game

Almost certainly it will be the Fire and Crew in the Wild Card (unless Orlando only get 0 or 1 point from their final 2 games) it’s just a question of who hosts #mls

@joechatz.bsky.social asks about the game at TFC early this season and what can still be applied from that performance

"Both teams have changed a lot since that first game... we're really trying to understand who [TFC] are now... and part of it is they have to deal with us" and our strengths

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@thotze.bsky.social asks about Toronto's stingy recent defense and the importance of being able to break down TFC's defense

"They have good players... we're not taking anything for granted... Djordje's gonna be very motivated to come here... it's about be focused and professional about what we do"

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@thotze.bsky.social asks about the importance of wins in the last 2 games now that they've made the playoffs

"It's pretty easy because it's the same thing we've been preaching all year... the hardest game is the next game" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@joechatz.bsky.social asks about what the Dean (and Kouame) goals come from

Berhalter notes 10 of the 11 players were involved in the build-up to Kouame's goal
Says it's a result of the players being more aware of where each other are as well as where the space is #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

On Chris Brady's season in light of his #USMNT call-up

"There's not too many young goalies in the league who have played so many games"

Notes that the pressure on a goalkeeper increases when the team is expected to win more often #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@joechatz.bsky.social asks about the resilience the team showed on Tuesday

"Even though we gave up two goals it didn't feel like a game where we couldn't get momentum back"

"You deal with it, don't get flustered" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@thotze.bsky.social asks about Barroso and Franco's injuries

"Leo is working through a minor hamstring" and will hopefully be back soon

"Andre has suffered a torn ACL. We kind of knew after the game is was bad news. And we feel really badly [for him]"

Gregg Berhalter is coming up next...... #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@thotze.bsky.social asks about Dean having scored his first MLS goal last year vs Toronto

"Hadn't thought about it until you brought it up" he says with a laugh
Notes that goal came from crashing the box and they hope to find more chances like that this weekend #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

On if the Fire were told to shoot more than look for passes against Miami given Ustari's struggles this year (4th worst in MLS for GA - xGA), Dean said the players are left to make their own decisions in the moment... but that they were encouraged to keep their shots low #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@thotze.bsky.social asks about Toronto as a matchup and how they've played recently

"Seven games they haven't lost... don't concede a lot... [we want to] be aggressive and play on the front foot"
"People are still fighting for their jobs out there" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@joechatz.bsky.social asks about the team's resilience against Miami after the game goes to 3-3

"We're a dangerous teams, and we still have belief in ourselves... it's people coming in making a difference... you saw [in the last two games] how deep the team is" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

On the quick turnaround, busy game week... "It's about being focused, diligent... using all the options we have here and we're fortunate to have many different [recovery options" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

"In the back three there's more cover for us to be more advanced... to get higher... But it's still similar to a back four (notes Elliot being almost like a left back in possession)... being able to play multiple formations is helpful" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@thotze.bsky.social asks about the vibe being different this year with more on field success

"We're excited... I've seen the standings and there's room for us to keep climbing... goal now is to get out of the play-in game... we believe in ourselves" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls

CHGO Fire @chgo-fire.bsky.social · 5d

@joechatz.bsky.social asks Dean about his new deal, a big goal, and general recent good stuff

"It's been exciting for me and my wife, we love it up here... the progress this year hasn't always been up... but we're excited to continue that... keep pushing and see where we go" #cf97 #vamosfire #mls
