Damet Plays With Fire Against Quakes Ahead of Chicago Fire Match | Red Smoke Rising, April 28, 2026

The red smoke rises and so do questions over whether we are playing with fire, and not just the Chicago version. We will preview the Open Cup match Wednesday night with special guest Nick from the Feed The Fire podcast. Then, is Yoann Damet playing with fire with his personnel choices? A look back at not just a disappointing San Jose match and also a triumphant CITY2 win over Ventura County, and does David Critchley's personnel choices foreshadow some lineup choices for Chicago?

Shambles in Seattle As St. Louis CITY Soundly Defeated | Red Smoke Rising, April 21, 2026

The red smoke rises and so did the bile in our stomachs and into our throats Saturday as we watched Seattle run away with a 4-1 win. Is lineup stability a good thing or does Yoann Damet need to make some changes? Can he even make changes that would matter with the lack of depth at striker and wingback? Edu Lowen returns and makes an impact, but where will he be making that impact? Is Palmer Ault the best striker in this organization as CITY2 continues to be full steam ahead?
