Wilman Conde's Rights? What about the Chicago Fire's?
“The last important aspect for Wilman Conde and Major League Soccer was not that game but the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft that took place two months later on November 24, 2010. Chicago retained Conde's league rights for up to two years when they put him on their protected list. New York Red Bulls knew they would have to give some kind of compensation to Chicago when they first approached Conde this off-season. It might seem like a technicality but Chicago has been on the end of paying 'gatekeeper fees' before.”

Fire tie for MLS-record 15th time: Can't hold lead as D.C. United rallies for 1-1 draw
“They dominated D.C. United with a 7-1 edge in shots on goal and a 14-6 overall advantage. And the United goal — by former Fire star Josh Wolff — arguably could have been waved off on an offsides call.”

Rock Bottom: Chicago Fire 2 - 4 Vancouver Whitecaps
“The post match press conference also didn't inspire confidence, with Klopas saying little of note and therefore indicating to Fire fans that there is really no action plan in place to get the Fire out of this slump. It is debatable, but yesterday's result could mark the lowest point in the Fire's on the field history. The team has only two wins in the regular season out of 22 games and sit a whopping 29 points back of LA who are on course to take the Supporters' Shield. With twelve games left, the Fire are now nine points from the last Playoff spot and are in serious danger of missing the Playoffs for the second season running.”
