MLS News


New England will be looking to continue their good start to the season, having destroying MLS Cup nemesis Houston 3-0, when they meet Chicago today. Chicago have been knocked out of the play-offs by New England in the past three years, so they'll be after a touch of payback. Yanks can catch the game, as well as LA Beckham's match against San Jose, on ESPN2.

The Fuegos have a tactical problem. Blanco doesn't really run or play defense and Justin Mapp certainly doesn't play defense. They've been playing Chris Rolfe in midfield, he's really a forward. Royal Salt Lake chewed up the space they left in midfield and the Fire were lucky to take a point. Playing essentially five forwards and one midfielder is going to kill them if they keep doing it. Also their fullbacks are not good attacking players and are essentially wasted in 4-4-2. They need to go to 3-5-2, send Chad Diesel to the bench and move Rolfe back to the forward line.
