Y'all, the Chicago Fire's back line is just awful. That was the main takeaway as the New York Red Bulls unceremoniously dumped the Fire out of the MLS playoffs, 4-0.
In (near) Chicago, no less.
New York's omnipresent Brit opened the scoring seven minutes in.

I am of the opinion that the goalkeeper should not close his eyes in that situation, but I am not a goalkeeping coach, so who even knows?
A man with a silly moustache put New York up 2-0 just minutes later.
Sacha Kljestan had just 2 goals in the regular season. Now he's got the Red Bulls up by 2 in the playoffs. #CHIvNY https://t.co/ewRMcfxvBb

Chicago made a flurry of substitutions roughly midway through the second half, so of course New York put the game on ice immediately.
That's how you put a team away. Daniel Royer's 1st career playoff goal has the Red Bulls moving on. #CHIvNY https://t.co/nIyZLGeaQR

Luckily for the Fire, their stadium was half-empty, so not many people saw what transpired there.
