Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire are back in action after a dissapointing loss to the Philadelphia Union. This weekend they take on a New England Revolution team that still believes in their playoff chances. However, the Men in Red are a much better team on paper and in practice. I'm predicting a 3-1 victory for the Fire, especially the way they're playing in Bridgeview this season.

We also have an update on Claudio Cassano, who as reported by Alex Calabrese of Men in Red 97, will be loaned to FC Lugano. THough inelligible to play for CFII due to his salary, he is more than deserving of the opportunity to play first team minutes in Lugano after dominating MLS Next Pro.
