As the Chicago Fire prepare for Friday’s top-of-the-table clash at Sporting KC, one needs to look no further than some of the veterans on the squad to recognize what’s on the line this weekend.
A win Friday night would push the Fire to first place in the East for the first time since May 25, 2008. Perhaps more importantly, depending on what happens between Columbus and Philadelphia the next day, clinch the club’s first postseason berth since 2009.
HIGHLIGHTS: Fire 1, Sporting KC 0 (6/29/2012)
