So who is playing today?

03Apr10

Apparently Mike Banner is going to start again according to Breaking Sports Chicago. The Chicago Fire twitter hit us with the following a few hours ago:

the fire’s having their pregame breakfast at the team hotel! Countdown 4 hrs till match start – expect some new faces in the starting XI!

So new faces in the 11. I would have thought John and Kroll would get the nod this week. Maybe Kroll is moving to the inside if Conde doesn’t play? Does Kwame get the call before Kroll does?

UPDATE:

Starting Lineup courtesy of En Fuego:

Andrew Dykstra – GK
Tim Ward – DEF
Kwame Watson-Siriboe – DEF
CJ Brown – DEF
Krzysztof Krol – DEF
Patrick Nyarko – MID
Logan Pause – MID
Peter Lowry – MID
Marco Pappa – MID
Collins John – FWD
Brian McBride – FWD (c)

So the Mike Banner report was wrong. Martinez is out and Nyarko moves into the midfield. Siriboe starts in place of the injured Conde. This game is going to be interesting defensively.
