Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire have won three straight and have done it in a variety of ways. Against Alan Saint-Maximin and Charlotte FC, they grind out a tough win with players away on international duty. Against Thomas Müller and the Vancouver Whitecaps, they put in a complete team performance with a resurgent Jonathan Bamba leading the way. Against Matt Freese and NYCFC, they rally back from going a man down to take and hold the lead. These different ways to win will prove invaluable to a team during elimination games in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Nick also looks at how Maren Haile-Selassie has been able to open up the Men in Red's offense alongside Robert Lewandowski. Nick also questions whether the Fire have a "Good Dje, Bad Dje" situation with defensive midfielder Dje D'Avilla, who picked up a red card against New York City FC after a couple clumsy and lazy challenges. He seems to play best during comfortable moments in offense and defense, but gets lost during the transition moments of the match. Will the Fire figure it out before the playoffs, when any mistake could cost a team its season?
