Kevin Thomas

@ChiFireSocTalk I thought he looked better, cleaner on the ball to start the season before his personal break. But since coming back, seems off. Hopefully he finds his form again. #cf97

Worth noting that our attack isn’t any better with Bamba in the lineup in place of Haile Selassie (no disrespect to MHS who has been in his best form since joining the club) and that’s a problem when he’s your highest paid player #cf97

7 - Chicago Fire's Hugo Cuypers is the first player in #MLS history to score a goal in each of his first seven appearances of a season. Indomitable.

Defense needs to clean it up, but lock zinck and Hugo here for another 10 years please #cf97

games like this are when you notice how much #cf97 misses what Franco brought when he came in last season. Excited for when this team gets to full strength.

That is a ridiculous call. But #cf97 played bad enough to lose.

Pushed into a handball? lol #cf97

#cf97 that was a youth soccer level sequence we just saw from both teams. Ends up in the net. Wild

#cf97 still too predictable with the ball. And on the defensive end they are organized but not moving as a group. Lacking secondary pressing triggers

#cf97 👀

Some good, some bad. Creativity will be an issue until Franco comes back. More concerned with the entire team seemingly gassed and flat after 60 mins. #cf97

@sing_electric Opposite of last season when the starter really strong and fell off. started slow this year, getting hot now and surging. Been fun to watch.

Meanwhile in Switzerland, FC Lugano are on a 5 game winning streak, with 7 undefeated in a row. Last loss? All the way back in November. The #cf97 sister club is now 2nd in the table, though opponents have games in hand

@TyrusRoseCF97 @sing_electric Agree there. It will be an adjustment and growth for him. But if he performs, only ignorant people would think he can’t have a better landing spot in Europe through MLS than where he was.

@ChanceKev @sing_electric IMO one of the biggest things is he doesn't speak the language. That's a pretty big hurdle, especially as a center back where communication is key. He'll be able to grow here, become adequate in English, and have one less major adjustment to make when it's time to go to Europe

Per ESPN, #BafanaBafana coach Hugo Broos once again said "Chicago is not the right place" for Mbekezeli Mbokazi, comparing the young CB to Vincent Kompany, who he also coached. He says Mbokazi belongs in Europe, not MLS. africa.espn.com/espn/story/_/i… #cf97 #VamosFire

5m seems light to me. But team didnt have all that much leverage with Guti set on making a move, hoping there is a sell on. #cf97

Cassano scores his first for Lugano to take all 3 points again 1st place Thun. After a slow start, Lugano has been in a good run of form! #cf97

If moving south is what Guti wants, that’s fine. But team needs to get a big fee and future sell on. #cf97

Too late to draw a retractable roof on that new stadium? #cf97
