But as the Union return to league games on Saturday at the Chicago Fire , Curtin knows he’ll encounter an even rarer sight these days than the Union being in the Champions League semifinals. For the first time in years, the Union enter a game against the Fire from outside the playoff places, while the Fire are in them. Chicago’s 2-1-3 record isn’t too much to gloat about, but it’s better than the Union’s 2-4-1 mark ., when it took Joaquín Torres’ late goal to bring the Union three points.
Though all the points the Union have dropped since then count equally, they weren’t all created equally. Curtin is still annoyed about his team’s late collapse at CF Montréal on March 18 and a scoreless tie at home against Sporting Kansas City on April 1. “I think we all recognize we don’t have the amount of points in the league that we’d like to,” Curtin said Friday. “I think we’ve performed a little better than the output of points, but the reality is the table tells the truth. … I have full confidence and faith that this group will get going in the league, but there is a sense of urgency and it starts this weekend.”Jack McGlynn also acknowledged that he and his fellow players “need to get points in the league now.
