Feels fitting that Chicago and New England would draw to end the season, a disappointing campaign for both squads (more so for the Revs).
It was great to see the Fire’s academy grads make big contributions the last couple matches, capped off in style by Alex Minis’ stoppage time goal to secure the draw. Heitz may never understand how to build a complete MLS roster (why the fuck was Gimenez extended for 2 additional years???), but the academy has come along really quickly - Slonina, Brady, Oregel, Minis, Casas, BGuti. Add in Duran’s last season explosion - 5 goals in his last 5 matches - and there’s reason for cautious optimism. You know, until Heitz starts making more transfer moves…
