thought you jinxed us by posting this early before the start of the other game.

Jinx? I wrote a WHOLE game summary when we were down 2:0. Well, not as much as a game summary, as a lament of time past...

Probably a let down game at this point but the SS is still in play. Trifecta this year boys, book it.

I don't even care if we lose this one. Have to imagine the squad is emotionally spent.

 

Muyl-Veron-Keita

Bezecourt

Duka-Metzger

Felipe (only cause he always plays)

Escobar-Collin-Lade

Robles

 

Really don't care if we throw this away.

I expect to see some rotation. Very short rest, second turf game in a row, etc.

 

Let Veron start and go a full 90. Keep his momentum going. 

 

Give Etienne a start maybe too. Davis and Felipe are workhorses you'd expect them to play again. As with Murillo and Adams. Could give Lade a start. Slot Collin in. 

 

Interesting to see if Sacha is rested.

Escobar made the trip to Cincy, give him a runout.

 

---------------------------------------Veron------------------------------------

--Etienne---------------------------Davis-----------------------------Muyl-

---------------------------------------Felipe------------------------------------

-Lade-----------------------------------------------------------------Adams-

--------------Long-------------------Collin----------------Escobar----------

---------------------------------------Robles-----------------------------------

 

Meara / Perrinelle Zizzo Murillo / Sacha Metzger /BWP

 

Would prob be the youngest front 5 we've fielded, no? Only older guys on this XI are Robles and Collin. 


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

This - Adams for Muyl at some point.  Whoever is left on the bench can be 2nd sub.  

Keita healthy for a run out?  Its turf but Henry level turf so ok

No concern at all for this game.

This.  The only three guys who I'm really interested in getting a break is Felipe, BWP, and to a lesser degree Sacha.

 

I hate Porter and Portland, but I really don't care what we get out of this game as others have said.  As good as we are now, I don't think we can win the SS because Toronto just isn't going to lose much outside of one of those big 3 getting injured.   We are going to make the playoffs so the only issue then is just our seeding.  And seeding doesn't matter unless we make it to the final.  

 

 

We have really good depth on this team, let's use it:

 

--------------Veron---------

----Muyl---Bezecourt--Duka

Taxi---------Adams------Murillo

---Zizzo---Collin--Escobar

 

Assuming no Keita because of the small injury he had last week, no Davis because he's in concussion protocol. Etienne off the bench.  Long on the bench but gets the game off. 

 

If it's close, march Sacha and BWP out there after the 60th minute.
