Bad news first: the Chicago Fire's season is over after a 4-3 loss to NYCFC eliminated them from playoff contention.

Alex starts the show by offering a few thoughts on the game and the feelings around the team following the loss last night.

On a more exciting note, Chicago soccer legend Peter Wilt is back on the show to discuss his latest project: a new soccer team in Chicago as part of the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), debuting next August! Peter discusses the origins of the team, what he hopes it can be, the importance of fan engagement in the process of developing a team identity, and a little Fire and Red Stars as well.
