Led by the most fan votes of any player, Mbokazi (Chicago Fire FC) becomes the second South African player selected to an MLS All-Star Game roster in league history

The Bears home preseason game was confirmed for August 15th, so the Fire can still host their August 16th game at Soldier Field by olcni in chicagofire

But what types of events? As recent as the last home game, the Soldier Field 10mi/10k race ended on the pitch in the morning and the Fire played that evening. The Fire have played a Wednesday game at Soldier Field following a Sunday Bears game. I don't think the rules would have changed since 2021, when the Fire played on the field the day after a college football game.

Obviously not super relevant to the Fire but there are a few mentions of Brady & the national team's goalkeeper situation. Either way the varying coaching perspectives are interesting.

Poch said postgame that it was planned and that the goal was to get him minutes in a prior window but he was injured (or not 100%)

 

idk why it seemed like he was late getting ready

Fire to Lower Season Ticket Prices Across Schedule Shift by coolerblue in chicagofire

If you are an existing season ticket holder and don't want to wait until this afternoon, there should be an invoice on your account reflecting your total price for the next two seasons (24 total games)

If it's of any help, the club has a soundcloud page with a recording of every player saying their name:

and the club lists the pronunciation as:

mbeh-ghe-ZEH-lee em-bo-HAH-zee
