The first CONCACAF Champions League match of the Marsch-Curtis era is about to begin. With the team so beaten up and in many ways demoralized after a frustrating draw against the Chicago Fire, one would hope that the Red Bulls would be hungry for any kind of win to get them back on track. There is a difficult August MLS schedule coming up, and momentum will be important. Standing in the way of that goal will be Guatemala's Antigua GFC.
In the eyes of the bookmakers this game should be a laugher favoring the Red Bulls, but that would also be assume that Jesse Marsch chooses to play his best team.
