So did anyone notice that the Chicago Fire Canceled their trip to Portugal do to safety concerns. Yet the US Womens National Team is getting ready to play the Algareve Cup in Portugal.
Lets see, meaningless preseason warm-up match for an MLS team VS a Cup tournament for the defending Womens World Cup team from the United States. Something tells me that one team has something to play for, while the other really doesn't. And something else tells me that security would be just a bit better for a national team.
I heard that the Breakers have scheduled some preseason games up here in March, when it's too cold for the Revs to host a CCC game.
Lies lies lies It's possible the FIRE were scared to go and didn't think they would get good security, but I think once again it was a money issue and they try to play it off as something else. As in the case of the Revs not playing due to the cold weather.
