The Fire are just five games into the season, and there are some encouraging signs. Their only loss came at Philadelphia after spending most of the match down a man, and they’ve managed to stay afloat without getting much from Xherdan Shaqiri, Federico Navarro and Jairo Torres.
At the same time, the Fire (1-1-3, 6 points) have won once and have kicked away chances for at least another victory. They haven’t been able to play a complete game where both the attack and defense click.
