Galarcep: Osorio revamps Fire into a playoff contender

Chicago Fire players and fans knew a change was coming, but they never could have known just what sort of change was in store when a new coach and trio of players showed up to help salvage a season that once looked lost.

The arrivals of head coach Juan Carlos Osorio and standouts Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Paulo Wanchope and Wilmer Conde have helped the Fire climb back into the Major League Soccer playoff race and post a 4-2-1 record since the MLS All-Star break. The team's 1-0 victory against Columbus moved the Fire into the final MLS playoff spot with six matches remaining in the season.
