Here's a headline from Sweden published shortly after the Crew hired him:
"In Henrik Rydström's head: "I want a team that's like a fucking rock band""
Rock bands worth listening to don't perform songs they haven't nailed in practice, Henrik.
There was absolutely nothing questionable about the call Zinck got. If he doesn't want to miss time for card accumulation.... he.... shouldn't do stuff like that.
You think he learned about the mentality from social media?
And Leo's yellow was a total head scratcher. Overall, though, don't think the refereeing changed the course of the game, though.
This one was remote production which has been an absolute nightmare for production quality so far.
I have no idea what Rios is talking about.
From the press box (opposite side from TV cameras & benches at Soldier Field), it looked like a clean tackle, with all ball.
Regardless: the refs don't have to stop the game unless it's a suspected head injury, which it obviously wasn't
(please don't read anything into the Godfather memes in this thread, Saputo fam. We realize the family has definitely, positively never been involved with the mob.
Why else would he devote two chapters in his autobiography to the fact that he doesn't have mob connections?)
Maren scored. Brady and Mbokazi held fast. The ceiling is looking very high for this Chicago Fire team.
Here's 5 things we learned against Atlanta

If the family was actually this incompetent, there'd be hundreds of deaths a week from eating grocery store cheese in Canada
Still feel like this is all plot to push away the fans and so ownership has "no choice" but to sell the team to investors who will move them to Vegas/Phoenix/Detroit.
A fmr assistant there told me that when you get hired there, "you don't unpack your bags."
It's sad.
Now official after Montréal didn't have a press conference last night.
Donadel may have lost the locker room but he, just like so many of his predecessors, was never really given the tools to succeed.
Respect.
Every coach I ever had preached consistency. San Diego is really delivering on it.
That's what it was. Not saying the reaction was great but TBH - you want players who don't want to come off. He'll get a cooler head about this over time but it's not something I'd be worried about
And the streak continues for #cf97
Full time! Wasn't always beautiful but Fire get their second 1-0 W in a row.

Bamba and Zinckernagel off for Puso Dithejane and Jason Shokalook for #cf97 in the 89th minute.
Fortune on for Galarza for Atlanta United in the 88th minute
Maren gets it in the back of the net but the play is quickly waived offside in the 74th minute
It's what you want to see from a young player. Djé needed to take a breath and I think that's what Gregg told him to do.
Now #cf97 subs: Leo Barroso off for Jonathan Dean, and Mauricio Pineda on for Djé D'Avilla in the 68th minute
The first sub of the night is Atlanta's, with cooper Sanchez coming off for Steven Alzate in the 66th minute
Kinda makes you think, dunnit?
Mihaj can't get out of the way for #cf97's Leo Barroso and somehow the Atlanta player manages to get Leo a yellow card on the play early in the 2nd half.
So I'm hearing this was actually a late muscle pull keeping the Russian out of the lineup, which is less fun, tbh
At half, it's 1-0 for #cf97 but the Fire have been so close to making it 2-0 on MULTIPLE occasions and have to feel disappointed they didn't get a 2nd goal
And a minute later, a GREAT tackle.
MBOKAZI WITH AN INSANE GOAL LINE CLEARANCE OFF HIS HEAD FOR #cf97
GOAL! MAREN HAILE-SELASSIE! 13th minute strike as the Swiss winger gets the Fire on the board. #cf97
Fire subreddit post "So.... We booing Miranchuk's touches tonight?"
No Miranchuk in the lineup for #AtlantaUnited.
Apparently this post on the Fire subreddit scared him off.

Chicago Fire FC Starting XI graphic in a 4-4-2 with Lod and Haile-Selassie as the twin strikers up top
For the first time in 2026, the Chicago Fire are playing the same starting XI two weeks in a row – this time, though, Elliott is a planned start.
Still no Hugo Cuypers for #cf97
4-4-2, but think of it as a 4-2-2-2
Kevin Denkey's red means he's now slated to miss next week's game against the Chicago Fire
