Shaqiri not starting yet again for Switzerland

Our hopes of him showing off so he can find a new home after Euros are looking grim.

If he gets axed after the Copa, I'm all for calling him immediately.

Am I wrong?

Seeking Advice for Meeting Players after the Game

Hello! I'm headed to the game next Wednesday on 7/3 and I'm wondering which section I should go to if I want to get a picture with the players, and how long should I wait? Usually I don’t try and get an autograph or anything, but I’ve always wanted to meet a player. Thanks!

Mexico FAILS TO CONVERT on penalty drawn upon Miguel Navarro in Venezuela vs Mexico Copa America match!!

It was a handball in the box. Why are Fire players or former Fire players luckier in international matches?!

Chicago Fire license plate…

I’m sure everyone has seen Illinois license plates for the Bulls, Blackhawks, Sox, and Cubs, but there is no Chicago Fire license plate. I always thought it was a thing with the whole mls in general until today I saw an official Georgia Atlanta United plate…what’s up with this?!

Pick 'em 6/29 vs Seattle

Ticket/Parking Exchange & Sales Thread – Philadelphia Union @ Chicago Fire – Wednesday July 3, 2024 @ 7:30PM CT - Soldier Field

Welcome to the ticket and parking pass exchange thread for Philadelphia Union @ Chicago Fire – Wednesday July 3, 2024 @ 7:30PM CT - Soldier Field! Before you engage with others here, please read and heed the following advice to ensure a safe and successful transaction:

  • Verify Before You Buy/Sell: Always request proof of the ticket or parking pass (like a photo of the ticket with relevant details visible, but personal information obscured). As a reminder, photos of tickets will not get you into the stadium and you must have a scannable or NFC (near field communication) ticket on your phone. Check that the date and match details align with official schedules.
  • Use Secure Payment Methods: Prefer payment methods that provide buyer and seller protection. Avoid wire transfers and cash apps that do not offer safeguards.
  • Check User History: Look at the posting history and credibility of the person you are dealing with on Reddit. Be cautious of newly created accounts or those with little to no prior engagement in the community.
  • No Personal Information: Do not share personal information such as home addresses, phone numbers, or financial details in public posts or with unverified parties, unless where required in order to transfer or exchange tickets in Ticketmaster or other ticketing apps.
  • Scam Awareness: Be aware of common scams such as overpayment fraud, phishing links, or pressure to complete a transaction quickly. When in doubt, ask more questions or back out of the transaction.
  • Report Suspicious Activities: If you encounter suspicious behavior, report it to the subreddit moderators immediately. Your vigilance helps keep our community safe.

Reminder: The moderators of r/chicagofire do not facilitate ticket exchanges and are not responsible for any transactions made between members. Engage at your own risk.

Note for Season Ticket Members (STMs): Please arrange for any account exchanges to other games at least 72 hours before the match begins to ensure all transactions are processed smoothly and efficiently. Exclusions may apply. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to your STM rep. The front office staff information can be found here: https://www.chicagofirefc.com/club/staff/

[POLL] Who is the better "Meme" Player for the Subreddit? Dean (and his cult)? Or Koutsias (and his tucked in shirt)?

Hey there, the team is at an all time low and as one of your mods, I am looking to instigate and fan the flames among the populace.

So who is the better meme player of the sub at this point in time? King Jonny Dean? Or Koutsias and his tucked in shirt? Dean Cult can you defend your homeboy? Y'all have said that the Fire started being more successful because Dean was starting... and the Fire have a 2-2-2 record when Dean has been starting...

Koutsias fans though... is his tucked in shirt the ACTUAL secret behind the Fire's limited success this season?

If there is someone else, post them in the comments, but let's have fun here.

Dax McCarty

So him, Alan Gordon, and Dan Gargan have a podcast out I guess and so on the MLS reddit they did a Ask Me Anything.......So I asked them on their time on Chicago and here was Dax's response:

I enjoyed my time in Chicago but it left me wanting more. 2017 was one of my most memorable seasons. That team played some excellent footy, we just ran into a buzzsaw in the playoffs against a great Red Bulls team. Not parlaying that success into more success in 2018 and 2019 is a big disappointment.

There is nothing quite like Chicago in the summer. Truly elite vibes all around. Hated the winters though.

Dax

Miss that guy. He maybe didn't like it that much when he first got here coming from New York but I think opened up to it here. His heart and passion, man I wish we just played better when he was with us.

Help with seating

I asked a few weeks ago where the visitors sides bench is but now I was wondering if the players all come out from section 128? And if the seats/tables are still in front of section 130 or if they have been removed? If the tables are still there do you guys believe the security would let us go down there during warm ups to try to get jersey signed ? Thank you for any help.

New Chant Idea

I just came up with this in a minute. We'll iron it out if this gets actual traction.

This chant is based on the chorus of 'Livin on a Prayer' (at 1:20 https://youtu.be/ohFtQIPqGSo?si=kL7Nf_RPSepc-d7M )

So it'll go -

Whoaaa c'mon you men in reee-EED, light up the fire Take a shot, you'll make it, I swear Oh-oh, Sparky's on fire

Ight so thoughts, comments, concerns?
