I think we'd all prefer Robles in a cup final, but will Marsch make the change or stick with the guy who got him to the dance?

I think that it'd be better to have Meara in the net for this particular game.  He's demonstrated he can win a PK shootout and also has a height advantage of 4 to 5 inches over Robles.  KC hasn't been scoring a lot of goals all season and there's a good chance that this game finishes 1-1 or 0-0 and goes to PKs.

Robles is definitely the better player but I feel like making the switch now is just bad juju.

The pragmatist in me says play Robles. The good person says it's kinda a shitty thing to do to Meara.

Think I'm leaning towards Robles, but won't be unhappy either way.

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Meara was in goal for every game of the tournament. It would be unfair not to play him in the final. I don't think Marsch would do that to him.

If I was a neutral I would say sitting Meara would be a shitty thing to do. As a metro fan however . . .

I guess ultimately I say go with Meara. He got us farther than any goalkeeper since Johnny Walker, why mess with things now?

Roll with the good karma by keeping Meara in.

I'm planning on going. Just need to buy the ticket, but if anyone is on the verge on deciding, we can split a hotel and car rental/uber. PM Me. I already have a Marriot SpringHill Suite for $43 a night (two nights 19-21Sept).

 

Where can I buy a ticket for the game again?

I'd consider that, I'm planning on flying out on the 20th though regardless of the risk. Sporting kc will announce when tickets go on sale.

This is Gonzalo's take on the USOC (per JerzyIroc):

Gonzalo cup final hat trick incoming.


He certainly started the comeback in Cincy!

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