Tonight is the home opener for the Revs playing against TFC. Given that TFC is now coached by Preki, I suspect that TFC will be as dirty a team as Chivas was last year - which means the potential for injuries. Given that, I expect Nicols to start Phelan and Niouky in the center midfield as they will certainly match the predicted physical play of Toronto. The only change I expect for the starting lineup is Mansally in place of Schilawski.
I hope the weather is nicer then last year's opener which as I recall was brutally cold. Earlier this week, we had some unseasonably warm days, and I was hopeful that would continue for tonight’s game. But alas the weather made one of its usual New England right turns and it was quite chilly this morning. As I type this, it is sunny, but I know it will be cold and windy tonight - just like we New Englanders like it!

So here's hoping for early goals, a large fan turnout and a complete pasting of TFC by our Revs.
