Tonite ESPN2 brings us the Brimstone Cup, which I hear is the oldest MLS rivalry or at least oldest one with a trophy.  I didn’t even know they had a trophy for this one before today.  I suppose this goes back to the days of Dallas Burn.  What would be a better title for that cup when it is the Fire versus the Burn?

Well anyway on to the prediction.  I suppose the Fire are real pissed off from being the first team to ever lose** to our newest expansion team.  I think they’ll probably end up taking it out on FC Dallas at home this evening and score themselves a 3-1 victory.

** I know it sucks to be the first team to let a new team win.  In high school my junior year we were pretty weak.  It was also the first year that our cross town private school had a varsity soccer team.  Their first win ever came at our expense.  I still think about that game today…
