The Bonfire | Tata's Out; Fire take on hobbled ATL | S4:E18

About this episode

John and Tim discuss the Chicago Fire's upcoming match against Atlanta United and the implications of Tata Martino's absence.

The Fire are back at home as they take on Atlanta United, a team that's trying to go back to the future, reuniting Miguel Almirón and Tata Martino. So far, it hasn't gone great, and Tata's out for this one after a red card received during a mass confrontation during last week's loss to the Crew. John and Tim chat about why that is as well as what to expect from the Fire after their second win in a row, even as they once again featured a new Starting XI combination with Hugo Cuypers out.
