No Place Like Home: Nick's Back from Vacation, Shaq's Back to Switzerland

Hey, soccer fans! There's no place like home - and Nick is back home from vacation to Greece to recap all the Chicago Fire news from the summer transfer window. Most notably, Xerdan Shaqiri parts ways with the Men in Red and returns home to sign with FC Basel in Switzerland. Nick looks back on the tenure of the "Swiss Magician" in Chicago and what it meant for the club. Also, we explore the news of Sporting Director Georg Heitz announcing he's stepping down from the Fire after the season. In the second half of the show, we look at the Fire's newest acquisition: MLS journeyman Ariel Lassiter. Lassiter could be what Mueller was supposed to be for the club, and Nick breaks down his strengths and how the Fire could use him. We also preview the Fire's next match, an away trip to New York to take on NYCFC. There should be goals in this matchup of teams looking to make a playoff push. Tune in and join the conversation!
