But that’s exactly what’s happening after the Chicago Fire’s 2-0 victory over the Kansas City Wizards Monday in the Open Cup, the United States’ version of England’s FA Cup.
“Tonight we had a glimpse of what`s to come; there were a lot of bright spots and I`d like to use this momentum,” Chicago coach Dave Sarachan told MLSnet.com. “We can use tonight`s win to start heading north and not south.”
Both teams used the game to play many of their younger players and by all accounts the Chicago youngsters passed their auditions with flying colors. The game also marked the return of All-Star defender Jim Curtin who had been out since early May with a fractured foot.
“I`ve been saying it all year, I feel we`re a deep team. Knock on wood, we`re also healthy now,” said Sarachan. “Wednesday is an important game for the Chicago Fire; we`ve got to win.”
after 4 games without a win at home ,this the game for chicago....

Tricky game this.
Wouldn't look into the cup game 2 day ago as many reserves were played.
2 sides going in opposite directions right now. Chicago winless at home in their last 5 games now againt Kansas coming into a bit of form unbeaten in 3 league games.
Kansas playing quite well for me actually and Sealey has come in ahead of Wolff and stake his claim for a regular spot getting a couple of goals.
Doesn't have the injury reports just yet up so will come back and have a look tomorow the current situation but the asian handicap/double chance on Kansas would be my pick.
Conrad should be back from suspension to shore up the defence which will be a boostto Kansas.
Kansas +0.5 Asian handicap @ 1.72 (6/10)
