Never want to take anything for granted but Chicago seems to be in full rebuild mode this off season, hopefully we catch them at a time when all of their new pieces are still trying to get used to each other.
Hopefully our full rebuild comes together sooner than their full rebuild
But one could argue the same thing about our defense...
Edit: Beat me to the punch Tom
Yeah I agree we had some churn especially in the backline but it's nothing compared to Chicago's:
Larentowicz was their most vocal player and on field defensive leader. Magee, Palmer and Nyarko have been starters for years. 5 of the 10 players they added are rookies from the super draft or HG signings with no professional experience. Our situation by comparison looks considerably less extreme to me. Aside from Harrison every player we brought in has some level of professional experience:
This is exactly how I looked last year during that one bitching-cold game - was the temperature in the teens/twenties and snow started falling at the end??? I'm going more prepared this year with 50ml bourbon bottles to nip from.

We will lose a couple of matches to bad teams this year.
I know, BOLD PREDICTION, but often some hard core fans do the thing where they look at the schedule and pencil in wins vs bad teams.

Down to 24 days!
BTW, does anyone know where the countdown clock went in the NYCFC app?

I have it under matches. I don't see one for the Chicago game, just the Okc game
My guess is it will show up again as the default opening screen once the season starts. I do wish they had a countdown for Chicago and not just the next pre-season game.

Agreed, we can't pencil in a win v. every easier team, but I think that first win away in Chicago is key to getting the momentum we will need to avoid repeating this:

And another one out from Chicago... didn't expect this one. http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/02/13/chicago-fire-trade-harry-shipp-montreal-impact
Should make for an interesting opening game...
Chicago is either pulling all the right strings, or they are going to be the biggest dumpster fire with the complete overhaul that they're engaged in....
