Sometimes a draw can feel like a win, other times it can feel like a draw. With how tough of a season it has been, a draw will always feel like a win because points are so rare, but it really felt like Chicago should've had this one, if not for some questionable refereeing and poor defensive positioning.

Ally Schle-Goal from 34.4 yards out. Absolute banger of a goal. "OH MY GOD" as Jill Loyden would say. Her celebration was also a nod to Chicago Cubs centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong's homer celebration and I didn't even realize it while recording this podcast. Such a cool connection though.

The club couldn't hold the lead, but a point is a point and we''ll move on soon, but first listen to LT and Liz rant about the refs, which we rarely do.

Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports Net joins LT on the podcast this week!

In their first match since the dismissal of Lorne Donaldson as head coach, the Chicago Stars have earned a point against one of the better teams in the league, Gotham FC.

An impressive defensive display against one of the best offenses in the league is what held Chicago to the end, but another poor attacking effort looms over the club’s future.

LT and Joe Chatz share their thoughts on the firing of Donaldson, what the club changed under Masaki Hemmi as interim head coach, and how this club could improve offensively in the coming weeks.

The Chicago Stars continue their losing ways with another loss at home. While the defense has to try to maintain a scoreless match for 90 minutes, the offense isn’t doing them any favors by continuing to go scoreless in matches.

LT and Liz break it all down and share their thoughts on why they think things broke down near the end of the match.

LT and Liz breakdown the match, what they believed worked better this match than the previous three, and where the club still needs improvement. It was a win, but it wasn’t an easy or clean one.
