[Editor's note: SoundersNerd is actually in Cuba doing some hippie shit right now. His coverage is going to be spotty for a week or so. But he managed to smuggle out this Sounders preview to us.]

We played Chicago so long ago, I forget what happened. Oh yeah, it was back when we were getting a lot of red cards and we were missing someone crucial. Was it Marshall? Riley? Montero? Or was this the game where a silly red card caused us to play short (Montero? Marshall? Riley? There've been so many of them, I forget who was out when).

The result was a tie. The MLS is finicky. Cuauhtemoc is extremely moody. It could go either way, but this time at Qwest, more likely in our favor.
