The Latest
The Fire have been blanked in their last three games and haven’t scored since the 78th minute of their 2-1 victory against the Dynamo on April 6.

The Red Stars already have sold more than 16,000 tickets, with Wrigley expected to hold about 37,000 after necessary adjustments to turn it from a baseball field to a soccer pitch.
Northerly Island should be a stunning urban space on par with Millennium Park. Instead, it’s the architectural equivalent of Felix and Oscar, with a 30,000-seat concert venue oddly coupled with a nature preserve.
