So, with the hoopla of the Beckham unveiling, MLS almost forgot. We also signed that Mexican guy who hops. Here's the press conference unveiling Mexican forward Cuauhtémoc Blanco. He will debut for the struggling Fire this Saturday in their exhibition versus Celtic FC.
New coach Juan Carlos Osorio had this to say about Chicago's newest addition:
"Obviously Celtic is a great team and a very well recognized club throughout Europe and throughout the world," said Fire head coach Juan Carlos Osorio. "It can not be a better opposition for some of the guys here that haven't had experience at that level, hopefully for the younger players like Chris Rolfe, Chad [Barrett] and the rest. If we can have Cuauhtémoc for the game then I think we will have all the guys ready and hopefully have the team in place that will be basically be the starting lineup for the rest of the season."
Do you think Coach Osorio said "Chris Rolfe, Chad and the rest" because he has know idea who else is on the team? I mean he did admit a complete ignorance of MLS during the press conference announcing his hiring.
