Fire growing together in preseason after late 2011 surge

+

"OXNARD, Calif. – The theme of the Chicago Fire’s preseason training camp has been "cohesion." Frank Klopas and company have added several pieces – Colombian midfielder Rafael Robayo and Uruguayan striker Federico Puppo being the two most prominent – but for the most part, the team that made a late playoff push in 2011 is the one that will take the field in 2012. And while the first XI looked rusty in Saturday afternoon’s 1-0 win over Chivas USA, the second XI played like 2011 had never ended."
