RSL will open at home tonite at the beautiful Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah.
Lots of questions around a team that was one game away from the MLS Cup Final last year.
Can Yura Movsisyan be a consistent goal scorer for a club that has grown competively under Jason Kreis their manager.
The Crew will have selection choices with Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Robbie Rodgers, Frankie Hejduk and Alejandro Moreno all game time decisions based on injury, returning from injury and international call ups.
Catch the game on espn2 tonite at 9pm eastern time and get ready for the Dynamo at DC United this weekend on KHOU 11.2 and Fox Houston.
Crew striker Moreno arrived in town yesterday after playing 90 minutes in a huge 2-0 win for Venezuela over Colombia.
Hejduk played the full 90 for the U.S. in a 3-0 win over T&T. A great win but I am still shocked about how poor the “Soca Warriors” were.

SVENGALI disappears…..Sven-Goran Eriksson has been fired by the Mexican Federation after a 3-1 loss at Honduras.
Not only should the Mexican Federation fire Eriksson but they should fire themselves. It was a poor choice from the start and only a matter of time when this would blow up. Just another ill timed hire with a “name” not a guy who could get the job done in Mexico. Now if you have been following my columns and radio show you know I was not a fan of this hire by Mexico and figured it would only be a matter of time. Sven will now show up coaching in Dubai…..with a champagne glass in hand. Lets see who are the next star gazers to hire the man.
Mexico, like you didn’t know, will be coming to Reliant Stadium for the Gold Cup in July as they will take on Panama .

FOX SPORTS INTERNATIONAL has acquired the rights to the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE for the next three seasons.
Espn are the current holders.

Has JOZY ALTIDORE cemented his place in the U.S. lineup and should he be fast tracked with more games in the future to prepare him for the rigors of a World Cup. I say yes.
