After tonight's 2-2 draw vs Orlando, Robert Lewandowski's goalless for #cf97 streak reaches 660 minutes - a new career record for the striker in league play. Snakebit.

After getting subbed off in the 68th minute against Atlanta, Robert Lewandowski has failed to score in 7 consecutive appearances, just one shy of his all-time professional record. #cf97 #VamosFire

How #cf97 line up against Atlanta. Did Gregg rotate against the #14 team in the East? No, he did not. Zinck listed in the midfield; I wouldn't be surprised if Haile-Selassie was actually swapping with him pretty often.

In media availability Fire head coach Gregg Berhalter says that André Franco could be available "within 10 days." He then cautioned that he's "been wrong with this before" estimating player returns. #cf97 #VamosFire

That “subject to ticket availability” language may spare the Brew Crew from a “Pepsi points” lawsuit (IYKYK), but it’s still a PR mess regardless. #ThisIsMyCrew #RaysUp #WorldSeries

With Fire's 1-0 loss, that's 5 league starts for Robert Lewandowski with 0 goals The last time that happened was 2010-2011, his first year at Borussia Dortmund #cf97 #VamosFire

Andrew Gutman back in the XI for the Chicago Fire against the New England Revolution, and Andreas Hanche-Olsen gets his first MLS start. Leo Barroso starts on the right with Dean on the bench. Lewy up top, with Maren and Zinck alongside Bamba behind him. #cf97 #VamosFire

And official from MLS ‒ but odds are you'd get something worthwhile if you read Alex's write up on it.
