Now that Pre-season is finally here lets get a thread started where we can post some sightings and info on what is actually taking place on the practice fields of the HDC. As far as I know there have been several players "invited" to the pre-season. some from central america including Thompson? and some from south america Cardozo. How well do the new arrivals (Eskandarian and Harris) from RSL measure up? How will Curtin from Chicago do in the new backline? Will they take advantage of their new surroundings and kick it up a notch? Are there any other hopefuls? What kind of shape will Razov and Marsh be in? How has Galindo's recovery been progressing? Will there be another Cuban joining him on the squad? How will Guzan respond after his work permit trouble? Kljestan and Bornstein should be back in good shape after all of the USMNT training. Are Thomas, Vaughn, and Zotinca ready? How about Wicky? When does he arrive and how does he fit in with his new mates? How does the new coaching staff respond to Preki's style? Are there any new "discovery players"? Flores? Can Chivas compensate for lack of draft productivity Cunliffe? Burling? Can Hamilton score in league games like he did in the reserve league? Can Suarez' legs hold out for one last season or will go out like Llamosa last year? Medoza has been out of the news, what has he been up to? Has he been hanging out with Nagamura? Does Cue, Hunter and Vergara have any surprises for use? When will the final league schedule be released? I'm waiting for the practice schedule to be posted so that I can sneak in some "illness" time from work Let the run for the MLS Cup begin! Go Chivas!
