We asked John Richan of Mount Royal Soccer to give us some insight into today’s opponent. My answers to John’s questions about the Fire can be found here.
Hot Time: We are now given to understand that Ignacio Piatti and Laurent Ciman are unlikely to play against Chicago. How does the loss of your primary offensive threat and your undoubted defensive leader change Montreal's shape and the way they wish to play?
Mt. Royal Soccer: There is no doubt with these two players out of the lineup things are going to be very difficult for Montreal this weekend.
