I try to keep track of #cf97

Chicago saw the World Cup in 1994 and has seen its players feature prominently in ensuing editions. But 2026 promises to be a big one for three Fire players.

Here's a little more on our representatives this summer and their place in Club history. #cf97

We had an outstanding weekend supporting Homegrown goalkeeper Chris Brady and the USMNT on their last stop before a World Cup on home soil. The magic of the beautiful game never gets old.

Your weekly(?) #cf97 fun fact:

With GK Jason Nemo Jr. (16) starting in place of Owen Pratt (17), tonight's @ChicagoFireFCII XI is the youngest since...the last XI vs. Orlando (per @Transfermarkt).

Only Damian (21), Jack Sandmeyer (23) and Dean Boltz (19) are over 18.

Calling all #cf97 fans! The #USOC2026 will be streamed on Paramount+, but tonight's match vs. Detroit City will also be streamed on CBS Sports' Golazo! Network for free!

Sadly, no hometown call on either radio station o en español.

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers.

#TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996. @thatbilloakley @Joshstrangehill

For all the headlines that 2017 Chicago Fire squad made with Bastian Schweinsteiger, Nemanja Nikolić et al, I think Brandon Vincent was the most under appreciated piece of the last Fire team to make the postseason before 2025. #cf97

Periodically, I think about random American soccer players. And quite possibly the most random to ever earn a usmnt cap is Brandon Vincent. Buddy played mls for 3 years, was pretty good and then retired at 24

@ufcolin The 3/22/25 game ball went to Zinck! The team flew out the same night back to Chicago so they wrapped up quickly. #cf97

¿Quieren escuchar al Fire en nuestro idioma?

En vivo y en directo con @omarramoslive y @TerezaLimon por la aplicación Uforia y 106.7 FM HD2 #cf97

[Carlos Rodriguez @ca_rodriguez]

For #cf97 fans looking for the hometown call, you can catch Max Anderson and @JoeChatz on https://t.co/jPcfJvdrV3 and radio apps like Audacy! Cool when you can catch the Fire, the Cubs and March Madness on the same app.

@houseofheat El 3ro Tiempo???

[Carlos Rodriguez @ca_rodriguez]

This will mark the third time #cf97 has faced Cruz Azul, and the second they've faced Club Santos, in club history.

But it'll be the first time they play los Rayos del Necaxa, a surprising fact given the history of the Mexican club (especially in the early 2000s).

Hey @LeaguesCup, did you miss us? #cf97

[Carlos Rodriguez @ca_rodriguez]

@SkywayWilly Ok.

[Carlos Rodriguez @ca_rodriguez]

The return of the king! 🇨🇴 Thrilled to see Rudy back in Chicago, this time calling select Fire games on WLS AM! #cf97

[Rudy Hodgson @RudyHodgsonPxP]

So excited to call select games for the @ChicagoFire this summer during the hockey offseason. 🔥

Hope you’ll join me from historic Soldier Field. 🎙️ Thank you @ca_rodriguez for this opportunity!

@Sboniso_mvelorh @ChicagoFire @Xerox Matt Shabelman (@Mshabes) posted it before me, but today's match will be streamed exclusively on LA Galaxy's YouTube:

Behind the scenes, David Poreba has been working extra hard to get back to the field with the first team following a knee injury a year ago.

So good to see him back in the fold and opening 2026 with a long-anticipated first team goal! #cf97

@DePaulAthletics So if we recover the stanchion and make the tournament...is this coming on the road?
