Chris Brady Makes First USMNT Start in 4-2 Win Over Chile
Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady made his first start for the U.S. Men's National Team on Tuesday night, playing the first half of a 4-2 win over Chile at Energizer Park in St. Louis.
The United States went ahead in the 37th minute when Sebastian Berhalter finished a Sergiño Dest assist. Chile equalized in first-half stoppage time through Diego Ulloa, off a corner kick. Brian Schwake replaced Brady at halftime, and the United States pulled away in the second half with goals from Julian Hall, Chris Richards, and Mathis Albert. The match drew 21,680.
The win was the second match of the USMNT's four-game fall window, the first under head coach Mauricio Pochettino since the 2026 World Cup. Brady remains with the team for the final two matches: Mexico on October 3 in Glendale, Arizona, and Canada on October 6 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
A year of milestones
Tuesday's start adds to a significant year for Brady internationally. In May, he was named to the 2026 World Cup roster, becoming the first Chicago Fire Homegrown Player selected for a senior World Cup squad. In September, he was called into the first camp of the new cycle after one of the strongest club seasons of his career, including five MLS Team of the Matchday selections.
The Naperville native signed with the Fire as a Homegrown Player in March 2020 at age 16.

Chris Brady Named to USMNT Roster for First Camp of the New Cycle
Chris Brady with the U.S. Men's National Team
Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady has been named to the U.S. Men's National Team roster for its September and October camp, the first since the 2026 World Cup.
Brady is one of four goalkeepers selected by head coach Mauricio Pochettino in a 28-player group that will face Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Canada. Players begin reporting to Atlanta on September 20.
A new cycle for the national team
The four-match window opens the USMNT's 2030 FIFA World Cup cycle and contains the team's first matches since the 2026 World Cup. Brady returns as one of 13 players on the roster who were part of the United States' World Cup squad this summer. He enters camp with one senior international appearance.
His selection continues a year of significant international milestones. In May, he was named to the 2026 World Cup roster, becoming the first Chicago Fire Homegrown Player and Fire Academy graduate selected for a senior World Cup squad.
A season that earned it
The call-up follows the strongest season of Brady's career. He has been named to the MLS Team of the Matchday five times in 2026, most recently after a six-save performance in Chicago's 1-1 draw with Inter Miami CF before a club-record crowd of 63,094 at Soldier Field.
Asked after that match what his attack had been missing, Inter Miami interim head coach Guillermo Hoyos said: "Nothing went wrong; the standout player of the match was the goalkeeper."
The upcoming schedule
The United States will play four matches during the window:
Peru — September 26 at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida
Chile — September 29 at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri
Mexico — October 3 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona
Canada — October 6 at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota
Built in Chicago
The Naperville native joined the Fire as a Homegrown Player in March 2020 at age 16, the 19th Homegrown signing in club history. He has since started 116 MLS regular-season matches, recording 370 saves and 26 clean sheets, and has made 129 appearances for the club across all competitions.
He returns to Chicago after the window for the closing stretch of the Fire's season, with 10 regular-season matches remaining through November 7.
Mag Mile Sport congratulates Chris on another well-earned selection and wishes him and the USMNT success throughout the international window.

Chris Brady Named Man of the Match and MLS Team of the Matchday After Six Saves Against Inter Miami
Six saves before a club-record 63,094 at Soldier Field, and a nod from the opposing bench.
Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady was named Man of the Match in Wednesday night's 1-1 draw with Inter Miami CF. On Thursday, MLS named him to its Team of the Matchday for Matchday 25.
The match drew a club-record crowd of 63,094 to Soldier Field, breaking the previous mark of 62,358, which was also set against Inter Miami, in April 2025. The night was billed as Lionel Messi against Robert Lewandowski, and Lewandowski delivered, putting the Fire ahead in the 10th minute.
After that, Miami had most of the ball. The visitors held 62 percent of possession in the first half and outshot Chicago 9-3, with five of those shots coming from Messi. Brady made three big saves in the half, including a diving stop on a Germán Berterame shot early in the game, and the Fire went into the break ahead. By halftime, the Apple TV booth was calling it "the Chris Brady Show."
Casemiro equalized in the 48th minute off a Messi assist. Brady held firm from there. Miami finished with 20 shots, seven of them on target, and Brady saved six. The crowd chanted his name throughout the night.
The opposing bench noticed too. After the match, Inter Miami interim head coach Guillermo Hoyos was asked what his attack had been missing. "Nothing went wrong; the standout player of the match was the [Chicago] goalkeeper," Hoyos said.
Brady's selection to the Team of the Matchday is his fifth of the 2026 season. Fire defender Andrew Gutman, who assisted Lewandowski's goal, was also named. The draw extended Chicago's unbeaten run to seven league matches, the club's longest since 2017.
Brady, a Chicago Fire Homegrown and a member of the 2026 U.S. World Cup roster, is represented by Mag Mile Sport.
Carlos herrera leads usl championship in clean sheets
Mag Mile Sport client Carlos Herrera has recorded his 10th clean sheet of the 2026 USL Championship season — the most of any goalkeeper in the league. Add one shutout in USL Cup play and one in the US Open Cup, and Carlos has kept 12 clean sheets across all competitions this year for Detroit City FC.
Carlos is currently riding a four-match clean sheet streak in league play, holding opponents scoreless for 360 consecutive minutes:
August 8 — at Tulsa (W, 1-0)
August 15 — vs. Loudoun United (0-0)
August 22 — vs. Tampa Bay Rowdies (W, 1-0)
August 29 — at Louisville City (0-0)
Two of those clean sheets came on the road.
Congratulations to Carlos and to Detroit City FC on the run.

Mag Mile Sport Client Maggy Henschler Signs with Fort Lauderdale United FC
We're proud to announce that our client, defender Maggy Henschler, has signed with Fort Lauderdale United FC ahead of the 2026 Gainbridge (USL) Super League season, pending league and federation approval.
Henschler joins South Florida as a physically dominant center back — the kind of defender who wins games in the moments that don't make the highlight reel: the tackle, the aerial duel, the read that kills an attack before it starts. "A tough, intelligent defender who competes at a high level and brings consistency to the back line," said Aly Hassan, General Manager of Fort Lauderdale United FC, on the signing.
A native of Janesville, Wisconsin, Henschler built her foundation close to home at Milwaukee, making 52 appearances with 51 starts across three seasons, scoring six goals, and helping lead the Panthers to three consecutive Horizon League regular-season and tournament titles — earning All-Freshman honors along the way. She then tested herself at the highest level of college soccer, transferring to Kentucky and starting all 35 matches she appeared in over two SEC seasons, captaining the Wildcats as a senior. She finished her collegiate career among the most experienced defenders in the country: 87 appearances, 86 starts, nine goals, three assists, and 7,355 minutes.
From there, Henschler took the harder road. After a preseason with the NWSL's Racing Louisville FC, she moved to Sweden to launch her professional career, appearing for KIF Örebro in 2024 and Piteå IF in 2025 before bringing her physicality, range, and leadership back to the United States.
Fort Lauderdale is adding a competitor to a rebuilt back line — and we couldn't be prouder to have represented Maggy in this move. Congratulations, Maggy. We're excited for what's ahead.

Olivia Rush Signs with Sligo Rovers, Begins Professional Career in Ireland
Mag Mile Sport is proud to announce that client Olivia Rush has signed with Sligo Rovers of the Women's National League, the top flight of women's football in Ireland. The move marks the start of the central midfielder's professional career.
Rush arrives in Sligo after four seasons at Indiana University, where she was a fixture in the middle of the park and, as a senior, team captain. A Michigan native, she started 66 of her 71 career matches for the Hoosiers — a 93% start rate — and logged 4,963 minutes across four seasons of Big Ten soccer, capped by an NCAA Tournament appearance in her final year.
Known for her technical consistency and control of the game, Rush is a possession-based midfielder who dictates tempo, breaks lines with both feet, and pairs reliable build-up play with proactive defensive work — winning second balls, disrupting transitions, and setting the rhythm from deep. Before Indiana, she developed with the Michigan Hawks in the ECNL and played her high school soccer at Troy Athens.
Now she takes that game across the Atlantic. Sligo Rovers, known to supporters as "The Bit O'Red" and based at The Showgrounds, compete in Ireland's Women's National League, giving Rush her first professional environment and a foothold in the European game.
"Olivia has earned this at every step," said Mario Iveljic, founder of Mag Mile Sport. "She's exactly the kind of player a club should want. Technically sound, tactically intelligent, and a leader who makes the group around her better. Turning professional overseas is a real step up, and knowing how she works, it's only the beginning."
Everyone at Mag Mile Sport congratulates Olivia and looks forward to supporting her through this next chapter of her career.

First Cap: Chris Brady Debuts for the United States
Mag Mile Sport client Chris Brady earned his first senior cap for the United States Men's National Team on Sunday, entering at halftime in the USA's 3-2 win over Senegal. The appearance marks the latest, and most significant, step in a path that has been earned at every level.
Chris is a Chicago Fire FC homegrown product. He came up through the club's academy system before earning the starting goalkeeper role with the senior team. His performances have placed him among the most highly regarded young goalkeepers in CONCACAF, where he was a Golden Glove winner in the 2022 CONCACAF U20 Championships. Earlier this season, the Chicago Fire signaled its long-term confidence in him with a multi-year contract extension, a meaningful commitment from the organization that developed him.
A debut is not a finish line. It is a starting point. The work that earned this moment continues, with bigger moments ahead.
Congratulations to Chris, his family, and everyone at Chicago Fire FC and U.S. Soccer who has supported his development to this point.
Tati Fung and Lexington SC Crowned USL Super League Champions
Mag Mile Sport client Tatiana Fung and Lexington SC are 2026 USL Super League champions after defeating Carolina Ascent 3-1 in extra time on Saturday night.
The win caps a remarkable turnaround season for Lexington, who finished bottom of the league a year ago. The 2026 club not only lifted the championship trophy but also claimed the Players' Shield after finishing the regular season with the most points, a double no club has previously achieved in USL Super League history.
Tati, a midfielder in her first season with Lexington after joining from Fort Lauderdale United FC, played a key role across the campaign. Despite missing several weeks of the regular season to injury, she finished sixth in the league in assists. She played all thirty minutes of extra time in Saturday's final.
Congratulations to Tati, the Lexington SC staff and roster, and the supporters who carried the club from worst to first in twelve months.
Chris Brady Named to USMNT Roster for 2026 FIFA World Cup
Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady has been named to the United States Men's National Team's 26-player roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, U.S. Soccer and the club announced on May 26.
Brady is one of three goalkeepers on Mauricio Pochettino's final roster and will wear No. 25. He becomes the first Chicago Fire Homegrown Player and Academy graduate to be named to a FIFA World Cup roster, and just the fifth player named to a World Cup roster as an active player of the Fire — joining Jorge Campos (1998), Josh Wolff and DaMarcus Beasley (2002), and Xherdan Shaqiri (2022).
The Naperville native has been Chicago's starting goalkeeper since 2023. Through 14 matches in 2026, Brady has posted a career-high 74.2 save percentage, and he enters the tournament with 106 MLS starts across four full seasons with the Fire. He previously won the Golden Glove at the 2022 Concacaf U-20 Championship.
The USMNT will play Senegal on May 31 in Charlotte and Germany on June 6 in Chicago before opening Group D play against Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles.
Congratulations to Chris and his family on a moment that reflects years of work. Mag Mile Sport is proud to represent him.
Carlos Herrera Posts League-Leading 5th Clean Sheet in Detroit City Draw at Loudoun
Detroit City FC goalkeeper Carlos Herrera recorded his fifth clean sheet of the 2026 USL Championship season Saturday night, anchoring a 0-0 result at Loudoun United FC in Leesburg, Virginia. The shutout moves Herrera to the top of the league in clean sheets.
Herrera was central to the road point. He backstopped the shutout with a 10-recovery performance and a key save as Loudoun pushed late, behind a back line of Tommy Silva, Callum Montgomery, captain Devon Amoo-Mensah, and Haruki Yamazaki that limited Loudoun to just five shots and 0.40 expected goals on their home pitch.
The result extends the defensive run that has defined Detroit City's start to the 2026 campaign under head coach Danny Dichio. Herrera has been the constant — a settled No. 1 behind a back four the staff has trusted match after match.
Saturday's shutout is the kind that travels well: earned on the road, against a physical opponent, in a match that featured 34 total fouls and required composure through the final whistle.
Mag Mile Sport congratulates Carlos Herrera on another stellar performance.
Tatiana Fung and Lexington SC Advance to Gainbridge Super League Final
Tatiana "Tati" Fung and Lexington SC are 90 minutes from a league title.
Lexington dispatched Dallas Trinity FC 2-0 at Lexington SC Stadium on Saturday, May 23, booking their place in the 2025/26 Gainbridge Super League Final. Fung entered in the 66th minute, replacing Darya Rajaee, as Lexington saw out a semifinal it controlled from kickoff.
Catherine Barry — this season's Golden Boot winner — opened the scoring. Goalkeeper Kat Asman, the Gainbridge Golden Glove recipient, kept another clean sheet behind a back line that finished the regular season as the league's stingiest.
Lexington enters Saturday's final as the 2025/26 regular season champions and Players' Shield holders, having lost just three matches across 28. They will host Carolina Ascent FC at Lexington SC Stadium on Saturday, May 30 at 7 p.m. ET, with the match streaming on Peacock.
This is Fung's first season with Lexington after her rookie campaign at Fort Lauderdale United FC. A title would cap a remarkable arc for a side that finished its inaugural year as Wooden Spoon holders.
Mag Mile Sport will be watching Saturday.
Chris Brady Earns Back-to-Back MLS Team of the Matchday Selections
Mag Mile Sport client Chris Brady has been named to MLS Team of the Matchday for the second consecutive matchweek, recognizing his clean sheet performance in Saturday's 2-0 road win over CF Montreal. It is Brady's fourth Team of the Matchday selection of the 2026 season.
The Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper anchored a road shutout against a Montreal side that dictated possession (56%) and generated 15 shots, including seven on target. The clean sheet was Brady's sixth of the season — among the top marks in Major League Soccer.
The selection comes three days after Brady's six-save performance in the Fire's 3-1 comeback win at D.C. United, which earned him Team of the Matchday recognition for Matchday 13. Back-to-back road games. Back-to-back league-wide selections.
The timing matters. The USMNT will announce its 26-man World Cup roster on May 26, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino selecting from a goalkeeper pool that has included Brady in several camps this cycle. National outlets have consistently slotted the Naperville native and Chicago Fire Homegrown product into the projected three-keeper rotation for the home World Cup.
The Fire return home to host Toronto FC next Saturday, May 23. Pochettino's roster reveal follows three days later.
The case continues to make itself.
Congratulations, Chris. Onto the next one.

Mag Mile Clients Front and Center as FC Naples Beat Sporting Jax in USL Cup
Sunday evening at Paradise Coast Sports Complex delivered one of the more dramatic cup nights of the season — and Mag Mile Sport clients were at the heart of it on both sides of the fixture.
The Prinx Tires USL Cup Group 7 tie pitted FC Naples (USL League One) against USL Championship visitors Sporting Club Jacksonville. Naples came from behind to draw 1-1 in regulation and won the resulting penalty shootout 3-1, picking up the bonus point in group play.
The hosts fell behind in the 17th minute when Ahmad Al Qaq finished a clinical Sporting Jax counter. Naples gradually wrested back control of the match, and through the second half, Mag Mile midfielder Marc Torrellas went the full ninety in central midfield — composed on the ball and disciplined out of possession as Naples built waves of pressure on the visiting back line.
For Sporting Jacksonville, Antonio Gomez — the 6'2" centerback on loan from Austin FC II — entered off the bench in the second half and logged 33 minutes in his inaugural USL Championship campaign with the expansion side, continuing to add to a steadily growing body of professional minutes at this level.
The equalizer arrived in the closing stages. Kevin O'Connor sprung Andrés Ferrín down the right channel, and his centering ball found another Mag Mile client — left back Julian Cisneros — unmarked at the far post. Cisneros finished cleanly to make it 1-1. For a defender, it was a critical contribution at the most important moment.
In the shootout, Naples were clinical. Goalkeeper Joshua Grant's stop on Sporting Jax's decisive attempt sealed the win and the bonus point.
A proud night for the agency, with three clients featured across the fixture. Congratulations to Marc, Antonio, and Julian.
Tatiana Fung's Lexington SC Captures USL Super League Players' Shield
Lexington Sporting Club has clinched the 2025/26 Gainbridge Super League Players' Shield, awarded to the team with the best regular-season record — the first major trophy in club history. Mag Mile Sport client Tatiana "Tati" Fung was part of the midfield group that delivered the milestone result.
Tati's individual contribution stands out given the circumstances. Despite missing significant time with an injury earlier in the season, she finished the regular season with 5 assists — sixth in the entire Gainbridge Super League, trailing only a small group of players at 7 and the league's new single-season assist record holder at 8. Putting up top-six creative numbers while losing weeks of availability is the kind of return-per-minute production that scouts and clubs notice.
The team with the best record in the regular season wins the USL Super League Players' Shield. After the regular season, the top four teams play a single-elimination playoff tournament, the winner of which is the league champion. With the Shield secured, Lexington enters the playoffs with home-field advantage and a real shot at completing the double.
The Players' Shield is one of the most respected regular-season honors in U.S. women's soccer. The Gainbridge Super League sits as a Division I league alongside the NWSL, and finishing first across a full regular season campaign reflects sustained excellence at the highest level of the domestic game.
Congratulations to Tati and the entire Lexington SC squad and staff. We're proud to represent her and look forward to the postseason run that begins later this month.
Carlos Herrera Records Clean Sheet in Detroit City FC's 1-0 Win Over Forward Madison
Mag Mile Sport client Carlos Herrera earned a clean sheet Saturday night as Detroit City FC defeated Forward Madison FC 1-0 at Breese Stevens Field in Prinx Tires USL Cup play. Haruki Yamazaki's 88th-minute strike delivered the road victory for Le Rouge.
Herrera held the line through 87 scoreless minutes, keeping the match level until the breakthrough came. A clean sheet away from home, in a cup competition, with the game still goalless deep into the second half — that's the kind of outing that wins matches and builds a goalkeeper's stock.
Congratulations to Carlos and the entire Detroit City FC squad on the result.

Chris Brady Anchors Road Shutout at CF Montreal
Mag Mile Sport client Chris Brady delivered a Man of the Match performance Saturday afternoon at Stade Saputo, posting a clean sheet as the Chicago Fire defeated CF Montreal 2-0 on the road.
The hosts dictated possession (56%) and generated 15 shots, including seven on target — sustained pressure that Brady answered all afternoon. Goals from Philip Zinckernagel and Hugo Cuypers gave Chicago a comfortable scoreline, but the shutout was the story. It is Brady's sixth clean sheet of the 2026 season.
The performance comes three days after Brady's six-save outing at D.C. United, which earned him a place on MLS Team of the Matchday for Matchday 13. Two consecutive road statement performances. Ten days from the USMNT's World Cup roster announcement on May 26.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter has built a defensive structure around the Naperville native and Chicago Fire Homegrown product, and Brady has rewarded the trust every match. The Fire return home to host Toronto FC next Saturday, May 23 — three days before Mauricio Pochettino publicly announces his 26-man squad for the home World Cup.
The case continues to build itself.
Congratulations, Chris. Onto the next one.

Chris Brady Stakes His World Cup Case with Six-Save Performance, Earns MLS Team of the Matchday
With the USMNT's 26-man World Cup roster set to be announced in less than two weeks, Mag Mile Sport client Chris Brady delivered the kind of performance that matters most when it matters most.
The Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper was named to MLS Team of the Matchday for Matchday 13 following Wednesday's 3-1 comeback win at D.C. United, where he posted six saves to keep the Fire in a match they would eventually take over in the second half. It was Brady's first career victory at Audi Field, his third Team of the Matchday selection of the 2026 season, and the ninth of his career.
The selection arrives at a pivotal moment. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino will announce the final USMNT roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on May 26, with the Americans opening their tournament June 12 at SoFi Stadium against Türkiye. Brady was one of just four goalkeepers brought into the March camp ahead of the Belgium and Portugal matches — the federation's final evaluation window before selection. National outlets including ESPN, Fox Sports, and CBS Sports have consistently slotted him into the projected three-keeper rotation behind Matt Freese and Matt Turner.
He has not yet earned a senior cap. But performances like Wednesday's — composure under pressure, six saves on the road, a result to show for it — are exactly the data points decision-makers weigh when finalizing a World Cup squad on home soil.
A Naperville native and Chicago Fire Homegrown product, Brady has been one of the steadiest figures in the Eastern Conference all season. The Fire have conceded the second-fewest goals in the East, and Brady's clean sheet count and save percentage have placed him squarely in the national conversation.
The next twelve days will tell the rest of the story. Wednesday's performance made the case stronger.
Congratulations, Chris. Onto the next one.

Chris Brady Named Chicago Fire FC Player of the Month for April
Mag Mile Sport client and Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady has been named the club's Player of the Month for April 2026, recognizing a stretch that has anchored one of the steadiest defensive starts in Major League Soccer.
April included Brady's third shutout of the season — a 1-0 victory over first-place Nashville SC at Soldier Field on April 4 — which also earned him an MLS Team of the Matchday selection for Matchday 6. Across the month, the Naperville native and Homegrown product was a central figure in a Fire side that has conceded among the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference and significantly improved its defensive numbers from a year ago.
Recognition like this is rare for a goalkeeper. Player of the Month awards typically gravitate toward attacking output and visible scorelines, which makes the club's choice this month notable — and accurate. Head coach Gregg Berhalter has publicly credited Brady's composure through a season of significant individual pressure, with the USMNT's World Cup roster announcement scheduled for May 26.
April was the work. The recognition followed.
Congratulations, Chris. Keep going.

BRADY RECORDS FIFTH CLEAN SHEET OF 2026 IN FIRE’S 5-0 WIN OVER SPORTING KC
Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady recorded his fifth clean sheet of the 2026 MLS season Saturday night at Soldier Field, earning a shutout in a 5-0 win over Sporting Kansas City. It was the 22nd clean sheet of his MLS career.
The performance came one week after Brady's 100th regular-season start. With Saturday's result, he leads all Eastern Conference goalkeepers in clean sheets — and every Fire shutout in 2026 has come with the Naperville native in net. It also marked his second consecutive clean sheet against Sporting KC, dating back to a four-save win at Soldier Field in June 2023.
Behind a defense that asked little of him on the night, Brady was not called on to make a save. The result moved Chicago to 5-2-2 (17 points) and pushed the Fire to a season-high five-match MLS unbeaten run.
Brady joined the Fire as a Homegrown Player in March 2020 — the 19th Homegrown signing in club history. He was named Chicago Fire FC Defender of the Year in 2023 and 2024, Top Drawer Soccer’s Top Overall Prospect in MLS in 2024, and was the only goalkeeper selected to the BODYARMOR 22 Under 22 between 2023 and 2025.
Mag Mile Sport congratulates Chris on the milestone and another commanding night for the Men in Red.
