On this week's soccer deep dive, Ryan, Taylor and Joe turn their collective attention to the Second City. Chicago Fire has heritage, the passionate support of a major city and an owner who is willing to invest - so why have they only had one MLS playoff berth since 2012.

Customer Reviews
Great opening!
Awesome opening rhyme sequence Taylor!!!
Defending Bullies is not Becoming of TSS
I was disappointed in the response to the question about Emma Hayes on the 10 April 2024 episode. You defended the actions of a bully through your prevarication in your responses. Emma Hayes not only pushed/shoved Eidevall, she also attempted to impugn his character with the label of “male agression”. She also refused to apologize. If Eidevall had done the same to Hayes he would rightly be fired for such a reprehensible act. As to whether this would affect the USWNT, maybe not. But what it will affect is the fans. I do not want to cheer on bullies - wherever they may be. You can cheer her on with the USWNT, but I should expect you to condemn future behaviour when it inevitably happens in the future. You should be better and much less equivocal in your responses. I am disappointed.
Question
What happened to USWNT coverage?
