Seattle Sounders and Chicago Fire are ready to show off their new players and skills: It's their first game of the Major League Soccer season.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the CONCACAF Champions League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Olimpia, was also a home game here at CenturyLink Field. The away team is better rested.

Chicago Fire have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
