may have been mentioned but i havent seen it anywhere yet. Wallace is now injured and will be out for 2 weeks
I am really starting to feel bad for Toronto if they try to play a 352 against us. We will destroy them if they try to contest the midfield and let us get the ball with speed to the forwards. With how depleted they are, they need to bunker the whole game and hope to spring a long ball to Giovinco by himself. If there is anyone in the league who can create goals out of nothing, its him.
They killed us last time because they had 5 in the midfield, albeit with different players than who is available tonight, but I think that was more a result of our midfielders being over-matched 1-for-1 and Vieira insisted on playing out of the back every time. With Callens and Chanot going more route 1 over the top when nothing presents itself, the Toronto back three could be in for a very active night of chasing our front three and Maxi streaking through without a mark.

American Outlaws Bronx is going to be hosting their viewing party for USA vs El Salvador 2017 Gold Cup Quarterfinal at Stans Sports-Bar! Stans is located at 836 River Ave, just a few blocks from Yankee Stadium. Join us after the NYCFC game as we cheer on the red white and blue with some red white and brews!
We have all the advantages going on this one, but the one thing that worries me is Giovinco.
It is said that soccer is a "weak-link" sport - i.e. your team is only as good as your weakest player. Giovinco, however, comes the closest to making soccer a "strong-link" sport. Starving him for service doesn't really matter because he is so good at creating his own opportunities. He only needs 6" of space for half-a-second in order to fire a shot with strength and precision or knife a pass that unlocks the defense, and he is so shifty that he can create for himself that space and that time.
I think we win today, but I expect Gio will have his moments.

The way you stop a shifty 5'4" Italian is with a 5'9" Finnish Reindeer Butcher. If his knives are sharp, we'll be eating cotechino and mortadella tonight.
We should be able to effectively dominate the midfield, but if they move Vazquez around enough, he may also get a few chances to expose our outside backs. He has been terrific this season, some of it certainly because he was operating with a more functional unit, but he can create some magic on his own.
Thanks,

F: Villa, Harrison, McNamara, Okoli, Lewis
Stertzer, Sands, Awuah and Rawls get left out

i believe this will be correct, maybe and hopefully sands instead of Lopez
Like if you believe that even in this weather that David Villa will wear long sleeves.
Hoping that since he changed at halftime of the Minnesota game, and wore short sleeves during the Vancouver game, the superstition is broken and he can go back to wearing short sleeves and not get heat stroke
That Vancouver result is not helping the cause, it may have reaffirmed the superstition.
