Fire host Revs in Eastern clash

Soccer Betting Lines

06/26/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Revolution and Chicago Fire kick off their post-World Cup break when they square off at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night.

Both teams are in dire need of the full points as they both sit with just three Major League Soccer wins in 2010.

The Revolution had just one win in their previous nine league fixtures before the break, but still are in striking distance of a playoff spot in they can find their form the rest of the season.

"I think we needed this break," Revolution attacker Kheli Dube told his club's website. "We've been having a tough time in the league and having a break to think about it. Now we can get back and focus on the upcoming game."

No better way to get back on track then against an Eastern Conference rival for the Revs (3-7-2).

"It's very important," New England defender told revolutionsoccer.net. "This is crunch time. The second half is always the most important. We need to start getting points."

Chicago, on the other hand, is fourth in the Eastern table because it has been able to earn a share of the points five time while only losing three to go along with its three wins.

The team is coming off a 2-2 draw with Colorado right before the break to stretch its unbeaten run to four games, although only one of those was a win.

The Fire will be without forward Calen Carr and midfielder John Thorrington because of injury on Sunday.

new England will be without defender Darrius Barnes, forwards Edgaras Jankauskas and Taylor Twellman, and midfielders Steve Ralston and Khano Smith because of injury. Midfielder Pat Phelan is questionable, while defender Kevin Alston and midfielder Mike Videira are probable with knocks.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
