They new look Fire are back to training at Seat Geek Stadium as they got back in town on the 24th, their last game was the 23rd. Still under heavy restrictions, only players and essential staff are permitted, the full of their full activities were gone over by the medical team of the tea and local infectious disease experts.

The Chicago team did pick up their option on their defender, and is now in the fold for next year as well.

"We are pleased that Jonathan wil be back with the team in 2021" stated Sporting Dir. Gerog Heitz, "Jonathan has also been an excllent leader and mentor for the many young players on the squad. We look forward to working with him again next season."

I had my text of congratulations all written and sent off to Timbers HC Giovanni Saverese as soon as they won. It was a good game, the surprising Cincinnati team was the Cinderella Team of these games, but their run has come to an end, after so much tumult around this 2nd year team, it was a good thing for them and the league to get the run they had. It was as the games will get more so as we get deeper into the rounds a physical game, but well played by both, neither dominated and it was very entertaining.

What a difference, from looking as if they do not even belong in the BIM to looking as if they may just rule the bubble, the real NYCFC did stand up, finally. A new rule, no more crossbar challenge for Heber, he hit 2 of them in extra time one on a chip of the keeper, follow your shot next time another was sterred into it by the netminder. Seems today at least Argentina U-23 is better than USMNT as Taty took Gonzalez on his goal. Instant offense, just add Maxi, a goal and a no look assist to Taty, Medina drew first and almost second blood, a total team win.
