The Bonfire | Feeling Upset in the Cup | S4:E24

About this episode

The hosts discuss the Fire's disappointing Cup exit and analyze squad rotation while looking ahead to their rematch against FC Cincinnati.

The Fire went to SeatGeek for the first time in 2026 as they hosted St. Louis City and walked out feeling upset with an early exit in the Cup. John and Tim have a mostly civilized discussion about squad rotation as they talk over what went wrong in Bridgeview. Then they forget everything Coach Ted Lasso taught them about goldfish as they let the discussion flow from Wednesday's disappointing match into what they expect from the Fire's upcoming rematch against FC Cincinnati this Saturday.
