All matches at RBA ... behind closed doors:

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

I am a little surprised that they were not one of the clubs that opted out and I also give the club credit for hosting all home games at RBA, rather than MSU. Its obviously more expensive, but it is safer.

Now, back to RB bashing.

if MLS is trying to come back closed doors for the regular season this is a good practice run for them hosting gamedays with no fans.  But for sure its not a penny pitching choice

Good job signing usynt player Jake lacsca

Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

Honestly they may as well let in the 150 or so fans that usually come to the RBII games at RBA because I'm thinking social distancing wouldn't be an issue and you wouldn't need to have more than a person or two to work the gate and temp screen as an added precaution. Hell have everyone go into the upper deck so they are nowhere near the pitch.
Let's Go Buffalo!!!

Schedule is out... we're in a group with Hartford (not NYCFC), DC, Philly, and Pittsburgh. Play everyone 3/4 times + extra game vs Atlanta.

 

Why MLS couldn't do that as compared to the Orlando tournament might have made sense 2 months ago, but not that much anymore.

Good to see our 2 team play. Tbh it's a better set up than the first team players. Stay at home play games locally, sad mls couldn't figure something similar out.

Supporters section and the other standing room both behind the goals don't look like they are social distancing. Hard pass from me.

Tomorrow vs Hartford 7pm on espn+


Any idea on who we kept up here? Wonder what our 18 will look like and is it also 5 subs. I think that gives us a big advantage.

My guess of guys from the 1st team who are staying locally with the reserves:

McIntosh

Nealis

Tolkin

Lema

Mines

 

Reserves:

Lapsley

Kilwein

Boateng

Rito

Fala

Bounthong

Zajec

Sharifi

Dieye

Clark

Corfe

Sowe

Elney

LaCava

 

My guess at an XI:

Sowe Elney

Sharifi Mines

Zajec Lema

Tolkin Boateng Kilwein Rito

McIntosh


RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.

 

RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee

given the difficulty of getting injury replacements i would hope every eligible first team player is in Florida.  If Jensen got hurt are you going to not have a backup goalie?

 

I'm hoping Clark looks pretty good, excited to see him play after reading about him.

Does MLS still have the pool goalkeeper? I'm imagining him lounging literally in a pool for this tournament, waiting for a call from Garber.
