Hugo Cuypers scores 2 goals moments apart, Fire beat Orlando City 3-1
Chris Brady had five saves for Chicago (6-5-4), which has won three of its last four games.
Zinckernagel took a pass from Mauricio Pineda a few yards outside the area, turned and ripped a shot the slipped through the fingers of goalkeeper Pedro Gallese to give the Fire a 1-0 lead.
Cuypers made it 2-0 in the 31st minute with a one-touch finish from the center of the area off a ball played in by Zinckernagel from the right side and scored his 10th goal of the season — matching his total from 2024 — to make it 3-0 in the 32nd. The 28-year-old in his second MLS season cut inside to evade a defender at the left corner of the area and then calmly rolled a shot inside the back post.
Cuypers is the first player in MLS since Miguel Berry on Aug. 27, 2021, to score goals in consecutive minutes.
Alex Freeman scored in the 40th minute for Orlando, the 20-year-old's fourth goal of the season, when he flicked in a header off a corner kick played in by Martín Ojeda.
Orlando (7-4-6), which saw its 12-game unbeaten streak come to an end Wednesday with a 3-2 loss to Atlanta, has lost back-to-back games for the first time this season.
The teams played to a 0-0 tie on May 3 in Chicago.

📽️ Messi tops CR7: more non-penalty goals, 6th brace in 7 games 🐐
Years go by, championships change, but the challenge between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continues even thousands of kilometers away. Last night, the captain of the Argentine national team scored another double with Inter Miami, the sixth in the last seven MLS games, and surpassed CR7 in a special ranking. As reported by Sports Illustrated, the two goals against the New York Red Bulls allowed Messi to reach 18 goals in the US championship scoring chart, but above all to reach 764 career goals without considering penalties, i.e. one more than Ronaldo. The ranking that also takes into account penalties, on the other hand, still sees the Portuguese champion, now at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, in the lead: 938 to 865 is the current score of Ronaldo and Messi. This, like the number of Ballon d'Or won (8 to 5 for Messi), are among the most relevant statistics analyzed to establish who is and who can be considered the best soccer player of all time. And who knows that the future may not reserve another season of close duels, given that the Saudi Pro League has been trying to convince Messi, already an ambassador of tourism in Saudi Arabia, to move to their championship for years. This would be the tenth year together after the nine spent in La Liga with the jerseys of Barcelona and Real Madrid. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Contributor: Kids in camp? Nope. Got a summer schedule? Nope. Cue the mom guilt
'How's your summer?' a mom asked from across the living room at a baby shower in June. She was standing with a small group of other moms of my daughter's classmates whom I hadn't seen since school ended almost a month earlier. 'It's the best thing that's ever happened to me,' I replied, honestly. From across the coffee table, their eyes widened, and their mouths skewed into disbelieving shapes. I understood the sentiment. The moms on the other side of the table all work year-round full-time jobs that necessitate puzzling together child care for 11 weeks while school is out. For them, that care usually looks like a conglomeration of scattered camps that drastically increase their weekly mental load with challenges of transportation, different start and stop times, and clothing and supply lists for each kid and every camp. As one mom at the party described this stress, her eyes filled with tears, and she wasn't even addressing the ridiculous monetary cost of keeping her kids supervised while she and her husband worked. 'You didn't sign up for any camps, right?' another mom eventually asked. 'No.' I didn't. I'm spending every day with my 5-year-old and 6-year-old. Our only planned activity is an hour of swim team three mornings a week that is run by a local college's swim program and still feels exorbitantly expensive. While recent headlines and TikTok videos about kids forgoing camp to 'rot' or go 'wild' or regress to the perfect ''90s summer' focus on outcomes, my family's conversation was really about the cause: the financial realities of parenthood. Like those moms, I made my summer plans primarily for financial reasons. They need camp so they can go to work; as a teacher, I have flexibility during the summer and don't need child care so I can work — and camp would have cost more than my salary, anyway. This past school year I returned to the classroom for my first full-time job since my oldest child was born in 2018, but I also continued my gig work as a freelance journalist. While my 8-3 job guaranteed a regular paycheck in this unreliable media landscape and matched my kids' school hours, so we wouldn't need to pay for additional child care, freelancing was still the bulk of my income. Thus, I found myself employed but still participating in an 'infinite workday' as I filled my late nights and early mornings with writing. By the time the first camp registrations opened in January, I'd proven that I could meet deadlines outside of normal working hours, and camp for two kids was unjustifiably expensive. My husband agreed with my plan to forgo camp, and I tried to quiet the guilt that my kids would be missing the art or athletic enrichment. Five months later, I was exactly one week into our unscheduled time when the Cut asked, 'Why not let your kids have a 'wild' summer?' The article argued for the benefits of leaving these months unplanned, 'giving kids space to feel dreamy, inspired, excited, or nothing at all.' A week later, the New York Times followed up with its own question: 'Is it OK for your kids to 'rot' all summer?' In its examination, the article goes so far as to declare that summer is 'a parenting Rorschach test' revealing if a parent has a relaxed approach to raising kids as opposed to a focus on 'skill-building and résumé-padding.' pointed out that an unscheduled summer is impractical for working parents. "Good Morning America" argued that such boredom can be beneficial for this generation of overscheduled kids. The Cut ran a counter-argument to its original column that pointed out how taxing 'screen management' can be at home, and Slate bemoaned the pressure that comes with planning "summer de-escalation." At the beginning of July, Vox even questioned if kids are capable of experiencing the "delirious boredom" of a '90s summer. Much of this discussion has been out of touch. From the thorny linguistic implications of the phrase "rot" to the ludicrous notion that every aspect of parenting needs to have merit (even, ironically, doing less), it's all missing the point that most parents don't have the luxury of time for this level of analysis nor for the 'best practices' that such analysis might suggest. They just feel the weight of judgment for failing to have that spare capacity. It also should not go unnoticed that these articles are all written by women and quote women, which mirrors a universal truth about summer: Moms are surely more likely to be both the schedulers of camp and the caretakers of the children not attending them because they are managing about 71% of the planning, organizing and scheduling within their household. After I told those other mothers that this summer was 'the best thing that's ever happened to me,' I immediately felt 'mom guilt.' Not because I think the empty time my kids fill catching dragonflies in the backyard or squirrelling away to their rooms to listen to audiobooks or cuddling with me in bed to watch an afternoon movie — all done amid constant bickering and wrestling — is more or less valuable than time spent in camp, but because my mental load is currently lighter than those of the other moms who were at the shower. This — not whether your kids are at camp or not — feels closer to the real problem. Modern society isn't built to support modern families. From agrarian-based school years to a lack of affordable child-care options and support for parents who are caretaking, every parent is doing the best they can within a system that is failing them in every season. (When the viral load surges this winter, I'm sure we'll be back to talking about parents missing work to care for sick kids.) Summer is just a three-month microcosm of the larger issues facing parents and, more specifically, moms who are desperate for a lessening of their mental load. Ultimately, I think that's what all these articles are really arguing for when you read between the lines. Returning to the idealized '90s summer of my childhood is less about what kids are doing and more about what parents aren't doing. Maybe the one thing each perspective has in common is that parents, especially moms, are justified in wanting to do less cultivating and scheduling of their children, because we all deserve a brief foray into the seemingly endless summers of our childhood before this summer, like all summers, ends.

Woman Threatens to Move Out If Husband Allows Sister to Move Into Their 2-Bedroom Apartment
With her husband and their toddler in their two-bedroom apartment, adding another person would be too much for this womanNEED TO KNOW A man told his wife that his sister needed a place to stay, and he suggested she crash in their two-bedroom apartment However, with their toddler sleeping in their second bedroom, the wife said no She told her husband that if his sister moved in, she would move outA woman found herself at odds with her husband after telling him that his sister couldn't stay at their apartment. In a Reddit post, the woman shares that she lives with her husband and their toddler in a small two-bedroom apartment. The second bedroom is reserved for the toddler, and they don't have a guest room or spare mattress. However, her husband's sister recently called and said she needed a place to 'stay for a while.' "No details. Just boom, she's on her way. She's not asking. She's telling us," the woman writes. "Apparently she got into it with her roommate and 'can't deal with the drama.' Her words." The woman told her husband "straight up no," not because she doesn't care about his sibling, but because they simply "don't have the space." 'Our kid wakes up if someone breathes too loudly near his room. I'm already running on fumes from the night feedings and the 4 AM cries. The last thing I need is another adult here adding to the chaos,' the woman shares. Her husband then told her that she was 'being cold," noting that family is family and "it's just temporary" — despite not knowing his sister's long-term plans. "I asked how long is temporary. He shrugs. Says a few weeks, maybe a couple months. No plan. No end date. Just vibes and guilt," she writes. "I tried to be clear. I said, If she moves in, I move out. I didn't mean it as a threat. I just meant I literally won't be able to function in this house if she's here full time," she continues. "I'm already stretched thin. This would break me. He looked at me like I'd just kicked his puppy. Said I was forcing him to choose." She noted that it's actually the other way around, as his sister is the one who put them in such a tough place. Still, "now things are tense" and her husband is "barely talking" to her, all while his sister keeps trying to "guilt-bait" him. 'I feel like the bad guy. Like I'm this evil wife keeping his poor sister out on the streets or something. But also I'm tired of always being the one who bends,' the woman confesses.

Most Redditors came to her defense, applauding her for putting her foot down. 'She hasn't been evicted. Unless she is in actual danger then she doesn't need the help she is asking for. That kind of help is for emergencies not for not being able to handle the drama,' one person wrote, to which the poster replied, 'Thanks. I agree help should go to those truly in crisis. She's stressed, but this isn't an emergency.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
