Season Opener and Home Opener Announced as Well as Some Other News

This week the MLS released the home openers for all 19 teams which you can find here. Also CONCACAF announced the Champions League quarterfinal dates here. So what does this mean for Frank and the boys? We travel to LA to take on the defending MLS Cup champion on March 3rd. This would be a good chance to see what the 2013 versn of the Fire will be like. The interesting thing is that LA may choose to rest players before their clash against Herediano in Coasta Rica on the 7th. On the 9th we will get to fill Toyota Park for the home opener versus Chad Barrett and the New England Revolution, followed by a visit to Kansas City on the 14th. Right now I'm calling 5 or more points from the first 3 games a good thing.

Some quickies:

• Julian Posada has left the Fire. Question is when did he show up?
• SKC signed a DP in forward Claudio Bieler. Never heard of him? Neither have I.
• New Jersey has signed Juninho but still no coach

Well thats it for now, I will doing fewer posts on here in the future as I will be contributing some articles over at Hot Time In Old Town. So look over there for my musings, but I will still try to post here on a regular basis.
