Match Highlights from the Chicago Fire’s website.

If the Chicago Fire’s answer to the right back position means sacrificing their best defender on their entire back line, you can wave goodbye to the playoffs right now.

Paunovic and Rodriguez must find out what else they have at the position before the transfer window closes in early May. This should mean giving Doody an extended chance to earn the role.

This team is in a position to compete this year, but not without, either, someone rising from within to claim that right back spot, or, a signing made to address it.

Oh, and by the way, @94_MRD of @takes_on_tap has the most exciting Chicago Fire Transfer news ever, since confirmed by the Chicago Tribune.

I knew it was coming but I’m still stunned. Bastian Schweinsteiger’s #31 Chicago Fire jersey will soon be MEIN!
